When Cardinals coach Bruce Arians dismissed his team shortly after Sunday’s 19-13 victory over the 49ers at Levi’s Stadium, the last thing he told them was that he’d see them back at practice on Wednesday.

There were enough mistakes and plays left on the field during the Cardinals’ fifth straight win that the Pro Bowl cornerback insisted the defensive backs report to the team’s Tempe training facility on Monday morning for a players-only meeting at 11 o’clock sharp.
The Cardinals’ secondary reported on time. So did the entire defense, it turns out.
