The Arizona Cardinals kicked off their second week of training camp on Monday with the pads finally coming on. The competition between players and position battles continue.

We have detailed a number of key position battles for the team.

Aside from those battles, there are some individual players who have something to prove in camp this year.

One of them is receiver Zay Jones

WR Zay Jones has something to prove

Jones has had a rough couple of seasons. He had his best year in 2022 with the Jacksonville Jaguars when he had 82 receptions for 823 yards and five touchdowns.

In 2023, he was hampered by injuries, played in only nine games and finished the season with only 34 catches. He was cut before the 2024 draft and signed by the Cardinals, and head coach Jonathan Gannon had nothing but good things to say about him all offseason.

However, he was suspended for five games under the league’s personal conduct policy, related to a domestic battery arrest in November 2023. He was arrested but later had charegs dropped, but the league still saw fit to suspend him.

He came back, missed a game with an injury and played 11 games but only had eight receptions.

He re-signed this offseason and now needs to prove he has something left.

Once again, there are positive reviews, but after an eight-catch season, if he doesn’t work out for the Cardinals, is anyone else to going to get him?
