          Latest news from Cardinals camp

          Thursday, July 24

          Before practice, coach Jonathan Gannon said Marvin Harrison Jr.'s added weight will help the receiver run through contact at the line of scrimmage. During practice, Harrison showcased just how his extra bulk will help. During 6-on-9 drills -- where six offensive players face nine defenders -- Harrison came down with a back shoulder catch despite tight coverage from veteran safety Jalen Thompson, and then rolled to the ground while maintaining contact.

          It was an example, despite being touched, of how his extra muscle will help Harrison in tight coverage.

          • Two rookies were getting reps with the starting defense on Thursday. Second-round pick Will Johnson was lined up at cornerback and fourth-round pick Cody Simon was getting reps at linebacker.

          • In the ever-increasing competition in the cornerback room, Starling Thomas V had an impressive PBU against running back James Conner in 6-on-9.

          Rookie cornerback Will Johnson was among the first to go in a series of drills during the open portion of practice, a sign of his standing within the cornerbacks room.

          Johnson, who signed his rookie contract Tuesday, will be competing for starting snaps during training camp. A lot can change before Week 1 of the regular season, but the fact that Johnson was getting his reps so high in the pecking order is telling.

          Something else to be considered: Garrett Williams was getting reps with the safeties, where he'll be splitting his time along with the cornerbacks.

          • Running back DeeJay Dallas looked quick in drills. He'll be vying to make the team as a ball carrier and returner, where he excelled last season.

          • The first day of camp was a low day as far as intensity goes. Thursday, when fans will be allowed in for the first open practice, will be a high day and the pace will increase.

          • Michael Wilson was taking snaps at punt return. It's still too early in camp to get a feel for how that will play out long term.
