Cardinals' Tyrann Mathieu: 'About two weeks' from practicing

Head coach Bruce Arians said Thursday that Mathieu is "about two weeks" from participating in practice, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Analysis:

In the wake of Mathieu's recent contract extension, the prospect of the All-Pro safety taking the practice field is becoming evident by the week. No matter when he's cleared for drills, both Mathieu and the Cardinals will exercise caution, as game action won't occur until he's 100 percent.
