Cardinals have playing time plan for preseason opener but aren’t sharing it

HC Jonathan Gannon knows what they plan for splitting playing time on Friday in the preseason opener is but isn’t sharing it before the game.

The Arizona Cardinals play their preseason opener Friday night at State Farm Stadium against the Denver Broncos. With a new coaching staff, one thing to watch is how much each group of players is in the game.

Head coach Jonathan Gannon isn’t going to reveal that information beforehand, though.

“We’re locked and loaded,” he told reporters Wednesday before the final practice of training camp at the stadium, “but you ask me other things, I’ll say we’re still talking about it. We’re ready to go. You’ll see what you want to see.”

Gannon did say that quarterback Colt McCoy would play but did not reveal his plan for splitting time between the four active quarterbacks (McCoy, Clayton Tune, David Blough, Jeff Driskel).

“You guys will see how we do it all,” he said.

He indicated as he did a few days before that playing time plans are individualized.

“We make our decisions as a group, as a staff, tell the players why we’re doing what we’re doing (and) go from there,” he said.

The Cardinals kick off Friday night at 7 p.m. Arizona time.

Cardinals sign former USFL RB Stevie Scott

The Cardinals added a running back after placing Marlon Mack on injured reserve.

The Arizona Cardinals announced a pair of roster moves on Wednesday on the final day of training camp at State Farm Stadium. Running back Marlon Mack was placed on injured reserve after tearing his left Achilles in practice on Tuesday.

To replace him on the team announced the addition of running back Stevie Scott.

Scott most recently played in the USFL for the Michigan Panthers, rushing for 295 yards and a touchdown in 71 attempts.

The 6-foot-2, 231-pound back played collegiately for Indiana in 2018-2020 and then entered the league as an undrafted rookie with the New Orleans Saints. He spent part of the last two seasons with the Denver Broncos.

His addition is needed because Mack is out and second-year running back Keaontay Ingram also has been out with an undisclosed injury. With a preseason game on Friday and starter James Conner likely only getting a few snaps, the Cardinals need bodies to make it through the game.

Budda Baker won’t say whether he’s playing in preseason opener

He told reporters that will ultimately be a decision made by the head coach.

The Arizona Cardinals will play their preseason opener Friday night at home against the Denver Broncos. Head coach Jonathan Gannon would not reveal last week his plan for playing time for starters and veterans.

Sabefty Budda Baker, leading up to the game, doesn’t have any answers either.

“We’re all trying to play, trying to get some time, but it’s all his decision at the end of the day, so we’ll see,” he told reporters after practice on Monday.

When asked about how important it is to get live game reps, Baker deflected a bit.

“Of course it’s very important,” he said, but then pointed out the team’s practice reps. “We practice like how we would want to play in the game so, of course, the practice reps are very good for us and to get the mental reps as well.”

He did note, though, the one thing you can’t simulate in practice.

“There’s nothing like being able to line against not a teammate and being able to hit him,” he said.

The Cardinals kick off against the Broncos at 7 p.m. Arizona time on Friday. We will see if Baker is one of the players who suits up and plays.
