Cardinals latest news and notes

Cardinals | Daryl Washington pleads not guilty

Arizona Cardinals LB Daryl Washington has pleaded not guilty in a case in Phoenix where he was charged with aggravated assault and criminal trespass. He allegedly grabbed a woman by the throat and shoving her to the ground.

Cardinals | Coach high on Carson Palmer

Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians said he likes the deep pass QB Carson Palmer will be able to bring to the team. "He's tough as nails. As good a deep-ball thrower as I've ever seen. I mean really accurate on the deep ball. He still has it. What he did last year with the [Oakland Raiders], in a crazy situation, I thought was very, very impressive," Arians said.

Cardinals | LaRon Byrd suffered minor injury

Arizona Cardinals WR LaRon Byrd (neck) suffered a neck spasm during organized team activities Tuesday, May 14, but was able to return later in the week.

Cardinals | Carson Palmer wants chemistry with all WRs

Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Palmer said he wants to build chemistry with all of the wide receivers because he will not be able to throw to WR Larry Fitzgerald all the time. "It's of the utmost importance to be on the same page with Larry, but it's of the utmost importance to be on the same page with every one of those guys because the ball can't always go to him," Palmer said. "I know that's not what he wants to hear, but that's the truth. There will be teams that key on him and there will be games where he doesn't have as many catches as other games. It's that much more important I have that rhythm and timing down with [WR Michael Floyd] and [WR Andre Roberts] and whoever that third and fourth guy is going to be."

Cardinals | Daryl Washington speaks about suspension

Arizona Cardinals ILB Daryl Washington spoke about his tumultuous offseason and upcoming suspension, but he did not have much to say. "I really can't talk about that right now," Washington said. "I'm pretty much limited in what I got to say, but I'm going to let my attorney do his job and we'll go from there."

"All I can do is come out here and work as hard as I can and let everything else play out," Washington added. "I don't like to bring a lot of attention to the team. I wish I could've just been more aware of a lot of situations obviously on both ends of the stick with the league and myself. All I want to do is move forward from here and just try to help my team and bring positive attention to the team."
