Opinion/analysis: Not seeing WR Stefon Diggs as part of the PUP/NFI lists suggests his recovery from a torn ACL is progressing … as he appears to be on track to be on the field for Day 1 of training camp.
WR Mack Hollins, TE Austin Hooper, OT Vederian Lowe and LB Jahlani Tavai are opening camp on active/PUP list. CB Carlton Davis III, S Josh Minkins and WR Jeremiah Webb are on active/non-football list. This means they are not yet cleared to practice. Can change at any time.
Cardinals first-round pick Walter Nolen III hurt his calf while training and will miss “some time,” coach Jonathan Gannon said. Gannon said he’s not sure if Nolen’s injury will keep him out into the regular season.
Full day spent talking football. I can’t wait
