Team president Michael Bidwill issued a statement on behalf of the Cardinals Wednesday evening.
There's not a person who has embodied toughness and courage throughout his life like John McCain and there is no doubt he will bring that to this fight as well. All of us at the Cardinals send our prayers and very best wishes to Senator McCain and his family.
Cardinals stars Larry Fitzgerald and Tyrann Mathieu joined the team in expressing their support.
Thinking of you tonight @SenJohnMcCain. They don't come any tougher & no one is better equipped for a fight like this than you.
