Cardinals' Jon Gaines: Past knee injury

Gaines (knee) was absent from the Cardinals' injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday's Week 1 matchup with the Bills.

Gaines missed all of 2023 with a knee injury, but it appears he's returned just in time for the Cardinals' regular-season opener Sunday. The 2023 fourth-round pick out of UCLA is expected to open Arizona's campaign as the backup center now that he's returned to full health.
