Multiple Arizona Cardinals players are missing from practice

Veteran journalist and Arizona Cardinals reporter Darren Urban moments ago broke some alarming news for Cardinals fans. According to the reliable news reporter, Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray missed the practice session this morning. The other notable absentees from the morning practice of Cardinals were Wide Receivers DeAndre Hopkins, A.J Green, and Running Back Jonathan Ward.

The one common link between these players is that they all were struggling with fitness before the match. Their absence means only one thing – the players have still not recovered from their injury. But it is not all gloom for the Cardinals as Rodney Hudson, Rashard Lawrence, Zaven Collins, and Max Garcia were all seen practicing.

After his exit, the WR had to return once again owing to a poor showing by the Cardinals offense.
