The Cardinals placed left tackle Paris Johnson and linebacker Josh Sweat on the physically unable to perform list on Thursday, but head coach Mike LaFleur didn’t make it sound like either player is going to miss much time during training camp.
LaFleur told reporters that both players are dealing with knee issues and that the Cardinals will “be smart” with them at this point in the calendar. The Cardinals will practice the next four days before taking Monday off and neither player will practice before that rest day, but LaFleur suggested they won’t be out much longer.
“The Paris thing, that is honestly nothing,” LaFleur said, via the team’s website. “It’s really just maintenance. He’ll be back before you know it. Same thing with Josh. Seeing him, he’s fired up to be here. He’s in great spirits and feeling good.”
The Cardinals also placed cornerback Garrett Williams (Achilles) and tight end Tip Reiman (ankle) on the PUP list to open camp.
