Cardinals | Larry Fitzgerald works in offseason program
Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald has shown up to almost every voluntary workout so far during his 16th NFL offseason. ‘I am hoping he enjoys the process and enjoys what the offense turns into and gives him a reason to stick around a few more years,’ head coach Kliff Kingsbury said. ‘But he practices and he plays like he’s trying to make the team, and that’s the biggest compliment I can give him.

Rams | Trainer confirms Todd Gurley’s arthritic knee
Updating previous reports. Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley (knee) is in fact dealing with arthritis in his knee after months of speculation. Travelle Gaines, who has trained Gurley for three years, suggested ‘not one thing has changed’ in regards to his client and that ‘our routine has worked, he’s been strong, he’s been in great shape, he’s done well.’ Gaines went on to say the decision this offseason to have Gurley drop six pounds and trim his body fat from 10 percent to seven was not due to injuries and more to accentuate his speed. The trainer also said ‘it’s never been told to me’ that the Rams plan on decreasing Gurley’s workload come Week 1.’Everybody knew when Todd came out of Georgia that there would be some kind of arthritic component to his knee, which is part of every surgery whether it’s a shoulder, a knee, an ankle. He’s now at the Year 5 mark; all we’re doing is managing that. If we can pound him less in the offseason while keeping his weight down, working on his strength, working on his agility in short areas, that’s going to give him a better chance to be healthy Weeks 14 through 17 when they really count,’ Gaines said.
