The Arizona Cardinals held their first open practice in front of fans at State Farm Stadium and will hold another today (Friday) in training camp. We are a day closer to the start the Cardinals’ 2024 regular season.
They will take the field at Highmark Stadium in Week 1 on September 8 to take on the Buffalo Bills.
That is in 44 days.
The Cardinals’ current No. 44 is second-year linebacker Owen Pappoe. He has not really made an impact as he was mostly a special teams contributor last season as a rookie.
The last impactful No. 44 was the last guy to wear it before Pappoe. That was linebacker Markis Golden.
Golden was with the Cardinals from 2015-2018 and again in 2021-2022.
He had two double-digit sack seasons and finished his time with the Cardinals with 35.5 total sacks.
We will have another countdown post tomorrow!
