Arians: About jobs right now, not chemistry

Here’s one way to look at it, and a good one, from coach Bruce Arians when talking about gaining team chemistry in training camp: “This is not a time for chemistry. My philosophy is, we’re not the...

Considering Alfonso

Alfonso Smith first came to the Cardinals in April of 2010. It’s been a journey back and forth since then. He’s always flashed talent, but he could never get past guys with more glittering resumes like...

Making plays, and not, in practice

Packers aftermath

The way Carson Palmer threw the ball Friday night was good. So was the way backup Drew Stanton did, for that matter. But what may have been the most promising of all for the Cardinals was the way the...

The running back health is improving. Rashard Mendenhall is back to practicing fully and Andre Ellington (concussion) has been cleared but will be worked back in slowly. Ryan Williams, said Bruce...

An efficient camp and Ellington’s neck

Bruce Arians talked this summer about why he doesn’t have his players stretch as a team beforehand. He went back to the subject Wednesday, and fits well with an efficiency that he works with through...

Ellington among those not expected to play

The Cardinals are not going to have rookie running back Andre Ellington (neck) tonight. Again, in the preseason, there are no inactive lists, so an “iffy” guy can still dress and see how it goes....

Going from third to first
