Stay healthy

I believe it is safe to say this is on every Cardinals’ fan wish list.  The Cardinals have had more than their share of injury over the last two seasons.

They had enough alone last season to field a whole other team it seemed.  The injuries were not discriminatory either.

The offense, defense, and special teams all took big hits in 2017.  David Johnson was lost for most of the season.  Tackle D.J. Humphries was injured twice.

Defensive end Markus Golden and tight end Jermaine Gresham both had major injuries.  They both begin camp on the PUP list but there is hope both will be ready by the time the regular season rolls around against the Washington Redskins on September 9th.

Just take it easy.  You want guys to get in shape but we need to hope guys like quarterback Sam Bradford and Johnson stay healthy not only in the preseason but into the regular season as well.
