Cardinals' Josh Mauro: Back at practice

Mauro (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.

Mauro has spent three weeks on IR, and he'll start preparing to be activated. The Cardinals have a 21-day window to activate the 29-year-old defensive end. If he's able to return this week against the Eagles, Mauro could handle a substantial workload because Jordan Phillips (hamstring) has already been ruled out.
