Arizona Cardinals offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur announced that roughly 35 players will not participate in the team’s preseason opener, the Hall of Fame Game. The decision is a standard precaution taken during the early stages of training camp.
The announcement came from LaFleur during a recent discussion about the team's preparations for the game. While no specific names were released, it's understood that the number includes both veterans and players who are currently dealing with minor injuries or are simply being eased into action.
According to Yahoo Sports, approximately 35 players won’t go in the preseason opener. LaFleur did not elaborate on which players would be held out, but indicated this was a typical approach for the first preseason game. The Hall of Fame Game serves primarily as an opportunity for younger players and those further down the depth chart to gain valuable experience.
The Cardinals will face the Houston Texans in the Hall of Fame Game, marking the start of their 2024 preseason schedule. The team is likely prioritizing the health of key starters as they prepare for the regular season.
