The Arizona Cardinals are off for a few more weeks before training camp begins July 25. A handful of players are coming back from injuries and hopefully can either stay healthy or get back to full health.
Keep an eye on these players as they prepare for the season.

QB Kyler Murray
Murray’s ACL recovery is what all have their eyes on. Most figure he will not be read to start the season. Some believe he might not play at all (that’s highly unlikely). Even a midseason return is cautious.
QB Colt McCoy
McCoy had an elbow injury he worked through early in the offseason. It appears he has worked his way back, but the expected Week 1 start has had durability issues. He suffered a neck injury and a concussion last season and missed four weeks to start the year with a strained calf.
TE Zach Ertz
Ertz is also coming off an ACL tear but suffered it earlier in the season and has a real shot of being able to play to strat the year.
LT D.J. Humphries
Humphries’ back injury caused him to miss the final nine games of the 2022 season. He has since been ramped back up and was able to practice at the end of OTAs and during minicamp.
S Budda Baker
Baker is healed but is coming off a fractured shoulder. He has yet to do any on-field work with the team as he is in a contract dispute.
LS Aaron Brewer
Brewer was recently re-signed, now fully healthy after a pectoral injury ended his season last year.
