Cardinals edge rusher Josh Sweat remains on the active/physically unable to perform list as he deals with a knee issue.
But even as Arizona progresses further into training camp, head coach Mike LaFleur is not concerned about Sweat being on the field when games count.
“Whether you believe me or not, I’m not worried about him for Sept. 13, at all,” LaFleur said Wednesday, via Darren Urban of the team’s website.
Sept. 13, of course, is when the Cardinals will open the regular season against the Chargers.
LaFleur has used a similar line before when discussing Sweat’s health and potential unhappiness with his contract. Sweat was the subject of trade rumors over the offseason.
Last year — Sweat’s first with the Cardinals — Sweat recorded a career-high 12.0 sacks with 13 tackles for loss and 17 QB hits.
