Latest on the Cardinals
Saturday, July 25
Despite being a first-team All-Pro and a Pro Bowler last season, Cardinals tight end Trey McBride said Saturday that "there's still a lot of things I can better at."
Not one or two. A lot.
"I'm not as good as I want to be," McBride continued.
Those words might not help defensive coordinators sleep well this season.
"There's a lot of things that you're always striving to be a better player, whether that's the little things, whether it's taking care of your body, whether it's whatever it may be," McBride said. "I'm always trying to improve as a person, improve as a player, and that'll never stop from now until I'm 60 years old. I just want to keep getting better every day. And that's kind of my goal. And I'm going to keep trying to do that every year. And hopefully each year will exceed the previous."
So, what specifically does McBride want to work on? He's quick to say: Blocking.
"Obviously, I get highlighted in the pass game and I catch a ton of balls, but to be able to catch that many balls, you have to be a factor in the run game. And with Jeremiyah [Love], with James [Conner], with Tyler [Allgeier], all these running backs that we have, we're going to run the football," McBride said. "It's not a secret. And I have to be at the point of attack. I got to be out there and I have to be able to move guys or this offense isn't going to work."

More observations from the day:
Although Saturday's practice was a "jog-through," Love got a number of reps with the first-team offense, alternating with Allgeier, during the open portion of practice. He only lined up at running back.
Quarterback Jacoby Brissett didn't take any snaps beyond drills during the open portion of Saturday's jog-through. Arizona will have more 11-on-11 action on Sunday, the last day of their first four-day block of camp.
Paris Johnson Jr., who came off of the physically unable to perform list Saturday, slotted right back in at left tackle during the jog-through. When he was on PUP, Josh Fryar took his spot at left tackle.
Friday, July 24
Quarterback Jacoby Brissett did not take a single snap during 11-on-11 drills Friday during Arizona's first open practice of training camp. Instead, the trio of Gardner Minshew, Carson Beck and Kedon Slovis took all the reps.
Brissett went through individual drills and stood with the other quarterbacks during the 11-on-11 portion but did not participate. Earlier Friday, coach Mike LaFleur said he can't put a timeline on how long it will take for Brissett to get caught up to speed. Brissett is in the process of learning a new scheme, football language, snap count and operation as well as the why behind all of them, LaFleur said.
"So, we'll take it one day at a time with that," LaFleur said. "I'm not going to put any kind of date on that, if you will."
Brissett stayed on the field after Friday's practice -- the second straight day he hung around after practice to get extra work in. He threw routes to wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. for more than 20 minutes from various depths and positions.
Overall, though, LaFleur said he is pleased with Brissett's progress.
"I like where he's at from a learning standpoint," LaFleur said. "I think he'd say the same thing."
Other observations from the day:
LaFleur said rookie defensive lineman Kaleb Proctor might have been able to return to the field this season after a torn meniscus landed him on injured reserve before training camp started. "But it just was not good in terms of for this year. So not to go too far into it, could he maybe have made it back by December, stuff like that? Maybe, but it just wasn't worth it to try to rush it at that point."
By my count, Minshew completed 12 of his first 16 passes during 11-on-11 drills before the offense started working in the red zone. His incompletions came on a pass that was almost picked off by Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, a pass that was bobbled out of bounds (although it was eventually caught) by Trey McBride, a PBU on a pass to Harrison and on another pass to McBride that he caught but was pushed out of bounds.
McBride showed off his route tree Friday, running a number of routes lined up as a wideout. On one play, he had a double move along the sideline and got a step on the defender but bobbled the throw from Minshew and was already out of bounds before he came down with it.
LaFleur was impressed with how in shape his team was on the first day of camp Thursday. "I thought guys were moving around well," LaFleur said. "It's Day 1. They're not sore yet. It's not the dog days at camp."
Thursday, July 23
Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett was on the field for more than 20 minutes after Arizona's first training camp practice ended Thursday, throwing balls to a couple of receivers and running sprints the width of the field as players were wrapping up for the day.
Brissett also spent time talking with wide receiver Michael Wilson and a couple of defenders. Brissett took over as the starter in Week 6 and helped Wilson finish with 1,006 yards last season.
Brissett, who skipped Arizona's voluntary offseason program this spring and held-in for mandatory minicamp, eased back into football during his first practice of the season. He went through drills, often being the fourth and last quarterback to take a turn, during the portion that was open.
Other observations from the day:
Despite being in shorts, first-round pick Jeremiyah Love looked quick and light on his feet during drills Thursday. He also looked like he bulked up a bit, but his quickness stood out.
Arizona got back several players whose 2025 seasons were hampered by injuries. Running backs James Conner and Trey Benson were back on the field, as was last year's first-round pick, Walter Nolen III.
Third-round pick QB Carson Beck looked sharp in his first NFL training camp practice. He was part of a four-quarterback rotation in drills and made several throws that caught everyone's attention. On a couple of throws, he showcased his arm strength, throwing lasers to a number of receivers.
With LT Paris Johnson Jr. on PUP as he continues to rehabilitate a knee injury, fellow Ohio State product Josh Fryar took over at left tackle for Thursday's practice. Fryar made an impression late last season and has a familiarity with offensive line coach Justin Frye, who coached him with the Buckeyes.
Despite turning himself in to police Sunday, Isaiah Adams was on the field and taking reps with the first team at right guard Thursday. "He's doing good, and it was good to see him," coach Mike LaFleur said.
