During Friday’s edition of Arizona Cardinals training camp, one player was clearly missing from the linebacker group in Haason Reddick.
Head coach Kliff Kingsbury provided some insight on the linebacker’s absence on Saturday, saying he will miss a few weeks following a knee procedure.
“It was a knee, a scope. We feel fortunate that we’ll have him back,” Kingsbury said when asked about Reddick and other injuries on the team. “It’ll just be a few weeks.”
