The Cardinals, like every NFL team, are limited with what can be done in the offseason.
It’s a big reason why Bruce Arians, when he took over as coach in 2013, created a two-practice scenario during organized team activities and minicamp. The coaching staff runs dual 11-on-11 and 7-on-7 work during part of the practices, so the young players can get needed reps and top of the depth chart can also get in necessary snaps.
The work can be a grind, though, especially in the heat of the Arizona sun. So, continuing with a process the team introduced last year in training camp, Arians said the team is monitoring the distance the wide receivers and defensive backs run in an effort to prevent fatigue.
