After an offday on Sunday, the Arizona Cardinals returned to State Farm Stadium for another day of practice.
While I was not in attendance to practice, many media members were, and they had observations and comments.
Below are some news and notes from those media members who were there.

No pads yet
The Cardinals could have worn pads for the first time in camp on Monday, However, they opted for a slower-paced practice for a day before putting pads on. They will go with full contact on Tuesday.

LB Myjai Sanders in a cast
Second-year linebacker Myjai Sanders suffered a hand injury last week. It would seem that he suffered a fracture. He was seen in practice with a cast on.

Other injury updates
According to Darren Urban, more than just Sanders was out.
Tight end Trey McBride and receiver Hollywood Brown suited up but didn’t do anything after individual drills.
Other players he noted who didn’t do much were new TE Geoff Swaim, RB Keaontay Ingram and CB Quavian White.
Some tweaking to O-line rotation
Per Urban as well, Kelvin Beachum and Josh Jones swapped sides of the offensive line on Monday. Beachum had been repping at right tackle and Jones on the left side. They swapped on Monday.
Newly signed Pat Elflein worked at center with the third-team offense.
