Arizona Cardinals preseason and training camp

Overview

The Arizona Cardinals have continued their preseason and training camp preparations under head coach Mike LaFleur. Following a difficult 2025 season, the team is in a rebuilding phase, with players such as receiver Michael Wilson and quarterback Jacoby Brissett expressing optimism regarding the roster's offensive talent despite high competition within the NFC West. In the Hall of Fame Game, the Cardinals lost 33-30 to the Carolina Panthers. Rookie quarterback Carson Beck made a notable debut, completing 15 of 19 passes for 188 yards and a touchdown. While some analysts suggested Beck could contend for a starting role, former NFL backup Luke McCown cautioned against overreacting, noting that the defense utilized “static coverages and minimal pressure.” As the preseason progressed, the Cardinals engaged in joint practices with the Green Bay Packers, featuring a matchup between brothers Matt and Mike LaFleur. During these sessions, the Packers' defense made an early impact, including a pick-six by cornerback Brandon Cisse on a pass from Jacoby Brissett, though the Cardinals reportedly improved midway through the sessions. Speculation regarding a potential trade for Cardinals pass rusher Josh Sweat has intensified. Despite general manager Monti Ossenfort previously dismissing such rumors, reports indicate that Arizona leadership arrived in Green Bay ahead of the team, a move not typically associated with joint practices. Sources suggest the Cardinals may have adjusted compensation expectations to a player and a draft pick, and Sweat has reportedly expressed a desire to join the Packers. Sweat remains on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list due to a knee injury but is expected to be ready for the regular season opener. As the preseason concludes, the Cardinals are preparing to trim their roster to 53 players.
