Cardinals get good injury news on Walter Nolen, Garrett Williams
Arizona Cardinals' 2025 first-round pick Walter Nolen left practice earlier this week with knee discomfort, but avoided a major injury.
The Arizona Cardinals received encouraging news regarding injuries on Friday, July 31. Quarterback Walter Nolen resumed practice after a brief absence, following three separate injuries in the past year including a season-ending torn meniscus. Head coach Mike LaFleur stated that Nolen's knee issue was resolved and expressed satisfaction with his recovery.
Safety Joey Blount also suffered a stinger in practice but is expected to miss only a short period due to his history with head and neck injuries. Nickel cornerback Garrett Williams, who tore his Achilles in December, remains a potential return candidate for Week 1, with Coach LaFleur expressing optimism about his progress. Cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting, who has assumed the nickel role in Williams' absence, has received positive feedback from the coaching staff.
However, the status of edge rusher Josh Sweat remains unclear, as he continues to be listed as physically unable to perform, with no concrete timeline provided by LaFleur.
