We are a day closer to the start of the regular season. The Arizona Cardinals will hold their second practice of training camp and first with fans in State Farm Stadium.
It is 45 days away from September 8, when they will be on the road in Week 1 and take on the Buffalo Bills.
The Cardinals’ current No. 45 is an impactful player — outside linebacker Dennis Gardeck. He has worn No. 45 for the last four seasons after starting with 92 and 42.
He was the team’s leader in sacks last season with six.
He has been a team captain and has been a Pro Bowl special teams player.
He has had two seasons with at least six sacks.
He is a fan favorite and, as a former undrafted rookie out of Sioux Falls, he has had a very nice career.
