Overview

• Arizona began Nichols’ return-to-play clock Monday, with the defensive lineman participating in a bonus practice for his first work of the season.
• Under NFL rules, he must be added to the 53-man roster within 21 days or he will be ineligible to play for the rest of the season.
• The Cardinals’ active rotation currently features Dalvin Tomlinson, Calais Campbell, Darius Robinson, Dante Stills and P.J. Mustipher, with L.J. Collier on injured reserve and Anthony Goodlow elevated twice from the practice squad.
• Other injured linemen remain without practice windows as Justin Jones stays on injured reserve with a knee issue and first-round pick Walter Nolen remains on PUP with a calf injury.
• Head coach Jonathan Gannon said it was good to have Nichols back on the field and noted his energy and ability to fill multiple roles.
