The Cardinals are reminding fans that the team’s new secure digital ticketing program will be in place for all 2019 games at State Farm Stadium, starting with Thursday’s preseason contest vs. the Chargers. As part of a league-wide initiative that involves all 32 NFL teams, fans will be able to...

The Cardinals are young at many spots on offense, most notably quarterback. Rookie Kyler Murray is going to deal with a learning curve this season, but he should be aided by a wealth of knowledge on the offensive line. If A.Q. Shipley wins the center battle, every projected starting...

“When it comes down to him speaking Xs and Os, that’s his type of language,” Robertson said. “He wants to be hands on. He wants to be able to understand the players he has, so he can use them to the best of their ability.” It isn’t as if he ignores other parts of the team. Joseph said...

Kyler Murray saw it on his phone the next day, the clip of Pro Bowl cornerback Patrick Peterson smiling, telling the world his rookie teammate was “very special” but that he “has to look away from ‘21.’” “The next day,” the quarterback said, “we got after it pretty good.” Murray said his...

The sweat was dripping and the chests were heaving at Cardinals practice on Friday morning. Even though coach Kliff Kingsbury cut the session from two hours to one, the water coolers were still a player’s best friend between snaps. The Cardinals won’t be playing in such oppressive heat when...

Byron Murphy has attached himself to the hip of Patrick Peterson during training camp. The second-round draft pick is in awe of the way the Pro Bowl cornerback dominates against some of the best athletes in the world. “I try to watch film with him so I can really break it down, because he...

“But in terms of his physical skillset and some of the things he can do to make this offense explosive, there is no doubt, in my opinion, he is as good as advertised.” The offense didn’t have its best day Thursday, and Murray allowed that camp has become somewhat monotonous (although when...

“Everyone in this building knows who I am as a player and my work ethic and leadership and what I bring,” Pugh said. “But you have to go out and prove it. It’s a business. I realize that side of things as well. You have to produce or you might be looking for a job. “But there’s no more...

KeeSean Johnson doesn’t have the mouth of his namesake. A media member recently tossed the Cardinals’ rookie receiver some bait, asking if he wanted quarterbacks to just throw him the damn ball, a la former Jets pass-catcher Keyshawn Johnson. The Cardinals’ Johnson chuckled, but demurred...

PRESEASON PLAYING TIME FOR VETS Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones came out Tuesday and said he will not play in any preseason games, and he likely won’t be the only star to take such a tact. But with the Cardinals, no decisions have yet been made. Kingsbury said there have been early...

At this point, I would agree, given that the depth could be needed. With that first waiver claim, I wouldn't rule out a wide receiver, a cornerback or an offensive lineman either. As for Bynes, I think they were just looking for more athleticism and speed at inside linebacker, more youth, and...

The Cardinals continue to try and find some pass-rushing depth behind starters Chandler Jones and Terrell Suggs, adding veteran Andre Branch on a one-year contract Tuesday. Branch, who had a free-agent visit with the Cardinals in Tempe in June, signed after the Cards released outside...

Humphries said he’s not thinking about the financial ramifications. “I know if I go out here and get hit by a bus, I know my family’s going to be good for the rest of their life,” Humphries said. “So that type of thinking – we all know about the money, but the first thing you have to handle is...

If anything, Suggs wants to deliver the message that to play in the NFL is a job many would love to have. “He’s easy to talk to, even for the rookies,” Jones said. “He loosens up the locker room a lot. Everyone can kind of walk around on egg shells, but when he walks around, he’s kind of like...

By spreading defenses out, there will be fewer players in the box when he gets handoffs, and the threat of mobile quarterback Kyler Murray pulling the ball at the mesh point will keep the run-stuffers from zeroing in on Johnson. “In previous years, D-ends just slammed down right at me,”...

Kliff Kingsbury never saw Robert Nkemdiche practice, so it is unlikely the Cardinals’ coach was counting on the former first-round pick to be a key piece of the defensive line in 2019. It definitely won’t happen now, as Nkemdiche was released Saturday evening, bringing to an end an...

The disappointing Cardinals career of Robert Nkemdiche is over. The Cardinals released their 2016 first-round draft pick Saturday. The defensive lineman had been on the physically-unable-to-perform list after tearing his ACL in early December. But his rehab work had not been stellar, and...

When Kingsbury was hired, he said his offense wouldn’t be as pass-happy as that of his mentor, Mike Leach, who threw the ball 71 percent of the time in 2018. The run-pass split is still unknown, and Kingsbury said many of the specifics are still being nailed down. “I think everybody that...

The Cardinals are dealing with their first significant injury of training camp. Inside linebacker Haason Reddick had arthroscopic surgery on his knee and will miss “a few weeks,” coach Kliff Kingsbury said. Reddick, the team’s first-round pick in 2017, is projected to be a key piece in the...

EVALUATING NKEMDICHE Asked for an evaluation, Kingsbury didn’t exactly have a ringing endorsement of defensive lineman Robert Nkemdiche, who is currently rehabbing from his ACL tear and is on the physically unable to perform list. “Not in shape, I guess,” Kingsbury said. “That’s kind of...
