Cardinals head to Mile High for joint practice with Broncos before preseason game<\/a> originally appeared on The Sporting News<\/a><\/p>\n

The Arizona Cardinals will take the field in Denver today for a joint practice with the Broncos, their final on-field work before Saturday\u2019s preseason matchup at Empower Field at Mile High.<\/p>\n

The session marks the third consecutive year Arizona has scheduled joint work ahead of a preseason road game. Under head coach Jonathan Gannon, the Cardinals have previously practiced with the Vikings and Colts, while also holding a session with the Titans in 2022.<\/p>\n

Quarterback Kyler Murray said he is eager for the opportunity. \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to it, honestly,\u201d Murray told reporters, via Darren Urban from azcardinals.com<\/a>. \u201cProbably a little too much.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gannon noted that the controlled setting allows for valuable game-style reps without the injury risks that come with live tackling. \u201cYou\u2019re going against different schemes, different people,\u201d Gannon told reporters. \u201cIt\u2019s a new stress to your central nervous system.\u201d<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s work will pit Arizona\u2019s offense against a Denver defense that ranked near the top of the league in takeaways last season. Led by former Cardinals coordinator Vance Joseph, the unit thrives on disrupting timing and creating turnovers, and it impressed early in last week\u2019s joint practice with San Francisco before surrendering a pair of late scoring drives.<\/p>\n

Per Denver Sports 104.3 The Fan’s Andrew Mason<\/a>, Joseph is looking for more consistency, saying, \u201cI want improvement. I want finish, I want great coverage, I want great rush and I want good football.\u201d The mile-high altitude and forecasted 90-degree temperatures will add to the challenge for Arizona\u2019s offense as it works to find a better rhythm after a rocky debut.<\/p>\n

Facing such a defense also gives Murray a chance to rebound from that performance, when an attempted no-look pass was intercepted and made viral<\/a>. The Broncos\u2019 secondary will test his timing and decision-making in a way that mirrors regular-season intensity.<\/p>\n

The joint session will serve as Arizona\u2019s final tune-up before Saturday night\u2019s preseason game in Denver, kicking off at 9:30 p.m. ET. Murray said the team is eager for the challenge and the opportunity to improve against a quality opponent. \u201cIt\u2019s the best time of the year to be able to go out,\u201d Murray said, \u201cand just be out there with the guys doing what we love.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cardinals head to Mile High for joint practice with Broncos before preseason game originally appeared on The Sporting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":287544,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2078],"tags":[375,390,2604,232,1327,231,7,7062,4827,55168,6,9791,1161,10891,2832],"class_list":{"0":"post-287543","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arizona-cardinals","8":"tag-arizona","9":"tag-arizona-cardinals","10":"tag-arizonacardinals","11":"tag-broncos","12":"tag-cardinals","13":"tag-denver","14":"tag-football","15":"tag-jonathan-gannon","16":"tag-kyler-murray","17":"tag-mile-high","18":"tag-nfl","19":"tag-preseason-game","20":"tag-san-francisco","21":"tag-the-broncos","22":"tag-vance-joseph"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115027394146902862","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287543","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=287543"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287543\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/287544"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=287543"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=287543"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=287543"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
