The Arizona Cardinals conducted an unusual full practice with full pads on Wednesday ahead of their Hall of Fame Game against the Carolina Panthers in Canton, Ohio. Head coach Mike LaFleur explained the decision was made because many starters will not play in Thursday's game, allowing them to gain valuable practice reps instead. The focus remains on preparing the starters for future preseason matchups, including a game against the Las Vegas Raiders next week. This full practice is likely a unique occurrence due to the extra preseason game.
