Cards Camp Notebook: Offense Finally Clicks

ARIZONA -- The Arizona Cardinals just concluded day number three of training camp practices, and tomorrow brings the first rest day for 2025's squad under head coach Jonathan Gannon.

For the first time, Arizona's arsenal of weapons came alive during camp.

The Cardinals' first-team offense appeared to have found its rhythm after struggling the first two days in team activities. Quarterback Kyler Murray found numerous targets on all three levels throughout 11 v 11 and 7 v 7 work today.

Notably, it was again the Marvin Harrison Jr. show - as the former No. 4 overall pick made big play after big play for the Cardinals on Friday.

The splash downfield everybody has been waiting for.

Trey McBride also got in on the "wow" catch parade in front of fans, flashing his vertical and coming down with a tough pass from Murray near the left sideline during team activities.

Backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett continues to have an impressive camp, orchestrating the second-team offense and looking very much like the top backup quarterback the Cardinals desired when bringing him to the desert.

For what it's worth, none of Arizona's quarterbacks have thrown an interception through three practices.

After struggling to begin camp - granted against a pretty stellar defense - it was good to see the Cardinals push the ball down the field and make plays.

On the defensive side of the ball, the Cardinals saw a great performance from edge rusher Xavier Thomas - who netted two unofficial sacks on the day against Arizona's second offensive unit.

Towards the end of practice, Mack Wilson Sr. and Darius Robinson batted back-to-back passes down to stall the Cardinals' offensive starters.

Robinson again is having a good training camp, which was the case last year prior to his injury.
