The Arizona Cardinals were scheduled to have two practices on their bye week. They were to practice on Tuesday and Wednesday before getting the league-mandated four days off for the bye.
The Cardinals got one day of work in on Tuesday and that was it. According to Darren Urban for the official team site, head coach Kliff Kingsbury canceled their Wednesday practice, giving the players five days off instead of four.
The extra day will allow players a little extra to get away before a December grind. They will play five games in December, including three against NFC West opponents.
It is the latest bye the Cardinals have had since 1991.
The Cardinals are off, but the coverage from here are Cards Wire will continue. Make sure you come back for more during the rest of the week.
