Sat, Jul 25, 2026, 4:46 PM
The Cardinals activated Johnson (undisclosed) off the active/PUP list Saturday.
Analysis: Johnson is healthy again after having spent just two days on the PUP list due to an undisclosed issue. The 25-year-old will once again serve as Arizona's starting left tackle during the upcoming campaign. |

Won't play this season
Fri, Jul 24, 2026, 6:20 PM
Proctor (knee) is expected to miss the entire 2026 campaign, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Analysis: Proctor tore the meniscus in his knee during OTAs and was placed on IR on Wednesday. Coach Mike LaFleur confirmed Friday that Proctor, whom Arizona drafted in the fourth round of April's NFL Draft, isn't going to be able to get back on the field this season. He'll therefore have to wait until 2027 to make his professional debut. |

James Conner James Conner Advances past injuries
Fri, Jul 24, 2026, 9:30 AM
Conner (foot/ankle) participated in practice Thursday, Jess Root of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Per Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site, Conner has recovered fully from the ankle injury that limited him to three regular-season games in 2025, though it's possible he'll be eased back in as training camp rolls along. The 31-year-old returns to a crowded Arizona backfield that now includes first-rounder Jeremiyah Love and free-agent addition Tyler Allgeier, as well as 2024 third-rounder Trey Benson. With Love and Allgeier destined to see their share of touches, Conner doesn't appear to have a clear path to steady volume in 2026, though that could change if injuries hit. |

Trey Benson Trey Benson Practices Thursday
Fri, Jul 24, 2026, 9:14 AM
Benson (knee) participated in practice Thursday, Jess Root of USA Today reports.
Analysis: As did fellow RB James Conner, who is bouncing back from an ankle injury. Per Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site, while the returning backs are ready for camp, the team plans to "be smart" with them out of the gate. Looking ahead, Benson will look to secure slotting in a crowded Arizona backfield that also includes Jeremiyah Love, Tyler Allgeier, as well as Conner. However, unless injuries hit, Benson doesn't have a path to steady volume in the offense as Week 1 approaches. |

Jacoby Brissett Jacoby Brissett Practicing amid contract talks
Fri, Jul 24, 2026, 8:28 AM
Brissett participated in Thursday's training camp practice and contract talks with the Cardinals are now ongoing and productive, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Brissett did not participate in spring workouts and held in at minicamp, so his decision to practice Thursday eases concerns about a potential hold-in at training camp. That said, the veteran signal-caller is still seeking a raise over his current backup-level starting salary, so his contract situation will warrant monitoring until it is resolved. Brissett is expected to open the regular season as Arizona's starting quarterback, with Gardner Minshew and rookie third-round pick Carson Beck filling out the QB room. |

Dealing with minor knee issue
Thu, Jul 23, 2026, 10:54 PM
Johnson, who was placed on the PUP list Thursday, is managing a knee injury that isn't considered serious, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Johnson finished last season on IR due to an MCL injury, and he's not quite ready to participate in training camp. However, coach Matt LeFleur said that the offensive lineman's placement on the physically unable to perform list was "really just maintenance" and indicated that Johnson will "be back before you know it." It sounds like Johnson is expected to be good to go by the beginning of the regular season, and he's slated to be Arizona's starting left tackle. |

Knee injury not considered serious
Thu, Jul 23, 2026, 10:16 PM
Sweat (knee), who was placed on the PUP list Thursday, isn't dealing with a serious injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Sweat's placement on the physically unable to perform list was a surprise given his participation in mandatory OTAs in early June, but coach Mike LaFleur described the transaction, along with the PUP placement of left tackle Paris Johnson Jr., as "really just maintenance." LaFleur also said that Sweat is "fired up" to be at training camp and is "in great spirits and feeling good." It sounds like Sweat should be a full-go by the beginning of the regular season, and he'll look to build upon the career-high 12.0 sacks he recorded across 17 games last year. |

Jacoby Brissett Jacoby Brissett Set to practice Thursday
Thu, Jul 23, 2026, 5:14 PM
Coach Mike LaFleur said Brissett will practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: One day removed from reporting for training camp, Brissett will be out there on the field after sitting out the entirety of Arizona's offseason program as he seeks an upgrade on the terms of his current contract. LaFleur told Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com that talks between Brissett and the team have been productive, but he'll open camp without the situation resolved. There's an expectation that Brissett will be the Week 1 starting quarterback for the Cardinals, but Gardner Minshew and rookie third-round pick Carson Beck are waiting in the wings in the event Brissett can't replicate his productive self from Week 6 onward from the 2025 campaign. |

All set for training camp
Thu, Jul 23, 2026, 4:49 PM
Nolen is all set to participate in the Cardinals' training camp, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Analysis: Nolen suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 16 of the 2025 season. He underwent surgery in late December to repair a torn meniscus and has made it all the way back to playing shape. The 2025 first-round pick is set to return to team activities and take the field alongside fellow defensive tackle Roy Lopez. |

Placed on PUP list
Thu, Jul 23, 2026, 4:38 PM
Williams (Achilles) was placed on the active/PUP list Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Williams tore his Achilles in December 2025 and was not expected to be ready for training camp. The linebacker has a chance to return for the Cardinals' season opener against the Chargers and may be able to participate in the preseason. For now, the 25-year-old is still working through the recovery process. |

Beginning camp on PUP list
Thu, Jul 23, 2026, 4:35 PM
Johnson (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Johnson will not be available for the start of training camp. The offensive tackle was unable to finish the 2025 regular season due to a knee issue, and it is unclear whether his current injury is related to last year's recovery process. Johnson had his fifth-year option picked up in April, so regardless of when the tackle is ready, he is set to return to play for the Cardinals through 2027. |

Beginning camp on PUP list
Thu, Jul 23, 2026, 4:12 PM
Sweat (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Sweat was a healthy participant in the mandatory part of the Cardinals' offseason activities. The premier pass rusher has seemingly picked up an injury between June's program and training camp. Sweat logged 12.0 sacks for the team during the 2025 campaign, a career high good for eighth in the entire league. If the 29-year-old has sustained a significant injury, it could impact opening day participation and production for the Cardinals' defensive line. |

Tip Reiman Tip Reiman Starts camp on PUP list
Thu, Jul 23, 2026, 4:06 PM
Reiman (ankle) was placed on the active/PUP list Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Reiman suffered a season-ending ankle injury in early October of 2025, but was tracking to be ready to participate in training camp. Evidently, the ankle issue is causing a lingering problem for the tight end, and it remains unclear when he will be able to return to the field. Reiman is set to be the No. 2 tight end behind Trey McBride entering the 2026 season, and will likely handle his fair share of blocking duties for the run game headed by first-round draft pick Jeremiyah Love. |

Goes to IR
Wed, Jul 22, 2026, 6:55 PM
Arizona placed Proctor (knee) on its injured reserve list Wednesday.
Analysis: Proctor sustained a meniscus tear during OTAs back in June, and now he's set to spend the entire 2026 season rehabbing. In his absence, veteran L.J. Collier could see his depth role on the interior of the defensive line expand compared to what was originally expected. |

Jacoby Brissett Jacoby Brissett Reports to training camp
Wed, Jul 22, 2026, 5:58 PM
Brissett reported to training camp Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Per Garafolo, there's nothing new to report on Brissett's contract status, but the QB is at least at training camp along with the rest of his Cardinals teammates. How much Brissett does once practice starts remains to be seen, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Network previously noted that the two sides have been actively negotiating for the last several months toward an amended deal designed to give the veteran signal caller -- who is projected to start for Arizona -- the raise he wants. |

Carson Beck Carson Beck Signs rookie contract
Wed, Jul 22, 2026, 1:05 PM
Beck and the Cardinals reached agreement Wednesday on a four-year, $7.4 million contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Beck, a third-round pick, is one of the last players to sign from the 2026 Draft class. He'll likely open training camp third or fourth on the depth chart, competing with Kedon Slovis behind veterans Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew. A strong summer could put Beck in good position to make starts later this year for a rebuilding Cardinals team. |

Jacoby Brissett Jacoby Brissett Expected to report to camp
Wed, Jul 22, 2026, 9:03 AM
Brissett is expected to report to the start of the Cardinals' training camp Wednesday, Ben Volin of The Boston Globe reports.
Analysis: Brissett will presumably attend the start of training camp for Arizona, but the veteran quarterback could still stage a 'hold-in' due to his ongoing contract dispute. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Cardinals agree that a raise would be warranted for Brissett, but the two sides have not yet been able to come to terms on an exact figure. |

Faces firearms charges
Tue, Jul 21, 2026, 7:03 PM
Adams was arrested in his native country of Canada on Sunday on firearm charges, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Analysis: "We are aware of the situation involving Isaiah Adams," the Cardinals said in a statement regarding the offensive lineman's situation. "Out of respect for the process, we will refrain from commenting further at this time." Per the report, Adams' next court appearance related to the charges is slated for Sept. 1. Ahead of training camp, the 2024 fourth-rounder was expected to compete with Chase Bisontis for the team's starting right guard position. |

Jacoby Brissett Jacoby Brissett Contract still unresolved
Tue, Jul 21, 2026, 12:52 PM
Brissett and the Cardinals have yet to reach a resolution about the veteran quarterback's contract, with players scheduled to report for training camp Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Brissett and Arizona reportedly agree that a raise would be warranted for the veteran signal-caller, who is currently slated to play out the 2026 season on the final year of his contract with a $4.88 million salary. The Cardinals have a capable backup option available in Gardner Minshew, who the majority of first-team reps in the offseason. However, Donnie Druin of SI.com reports that rookie third-round pick remains unsigned and is working to negotiate increased guaranteed money. Brissett completed 65 percent of his passes for 3,366 yards and a 23:8 TD:INT over 14 regular-season appearances with Arizona in 2025. |

Gardner Minshew II Gardner Minshew II Fellow QB works out with teammates
Fri, Jul 10, 2026, 3:37 PM
Minshew's teammate Jacoby Brissett, who is in the midst of a contract dispute with the Cardinals, posted a recent photo Thursday on Instagram that showed him getting in some work with several teammates, Tyler Drake of Arizonasports.com reports.
Analysis: That Brissett -- who didn't take a single practice rep during Arizona's offseason program -- connected with WRs Marvin Harrison and Simi Fehoko, TEs Trey McBride and Elijah Higgins along with fellow QB Kedon Slovis is a positive sign, but at this stage it's unclear if or for how long the signal-caller's contract issue lingers once the Cardinals re-take the field. In the absence of Brissett, the team's expected Week 1 starter, Minshew took the majority of first-team QB reps throughout the offseason, so this will be a situation worth monitoring closely once Arizona's training camp commences July 22. |
