Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake was in a walking boot at practice on Monday, but coach Kliff Kingsbury downplayed the situation when asked about it afterward, saying Drake was dealing with general training camp soreness and that the boot was precautionary.
“It’s more soreness than anything, just making sure we know what he can do, making sure that he’s feeling good and doing some precautionary stuff with him,” Kingsbury said when asked for an update on Drake and if the tailback might be in any danger of missing the team’s season opener Sept. 13 at the 49ers.
Teams aren’t required to post injury reports during training camp and Kingsbury has never been one to go into any great detail regarding injuries to his players.
