Joey Blount SAF | ARI
Cardinals' Joey Blount: Participating in training camp
Blount (neck/concussion) was an active participant in Tuesday's training camp practice, per Ross D. Franklin of the Associated Press.
Blount suffered a season-ending neck injury during the Cardinals' Week 1 game against the Saints in 2025, but he has recovered from the injury and is battling for a roster spot in training camp. If Blount does make the 53-man roster, then he'll likely be limited to work on special teams while providing depth in the secondary.

Cowboys' Tyler Smith: Will see reps at tackle
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer told reporters Wednesday that Smith (knee) will start at left guard this season but will also get some reps at left tackle during training camp, Nick Eatman of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Smith was a first-round selection of the Cowboys in the 2022 NFL Draft and started 17 games at left tackle as a rookie before moving to guard. The transition paid off for Tulsa product, who made the Pro Bowl in each of the last three years and was rewarded with a four-year, $98 million contract extension last September. Smith underwent minor cleanup surgery on his right knee in February and has recovered enough to participate in training camp practices.
