The Arizona Cardinals began their second and final week of voluntary OTAs (organized team activities) on Tuesday, and it was the one day of the week that reporters were able to see who was and who was not present. This is still the voluntary part of the offseason program, so absences are not necessarily cause for concern.

Who was there and who was not?

Arizona Cardinals players not seen at OTAs on Tuesday

SI.com’s Donnie Druin and AZCentral Sports’ Theo Mackie noted the following players not present on the field during the open part of practice.

Safety Budda Baker was seen working on the side. That normally means some sort of injury albeit usually minor.

Mackie noted that Davis-Gaither and Jones were new absences after being present last week.

Ojulari is coming off an ACL injury from last year. Nichols is coming off a neck injury and Jones had his season ended with a triceps injury.

Sweat, Campbell and Tomlinson are all new free agent additions. Based on comments by linebacker Zaven Collins, Sweat has been in the building. He just hasn’t been on the field for the two practices that reporters could see.

Beachum’s absence wasn’t really a concern, especially considering his age and length of career. He also has been vocal about players taking the time with their families in the voluntary part of the offseason as well.

Froholdt has been seen in photos shared by the team on social media in other parts of the offseason, so his absence wasn’t a real concern.

Williams is coming off a season-ending knee injury that sidelined him twice last season. His being on the field and participating is actually great news.

Nolen was working on the side last week. Head coach Jonathan Gannon told reporters Tuesday that his being on the side was neither health nor contract-related.
