TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) -- Larry Fitzgerald is back in practice at full speed and
will provide new quarterback Derek Anderson a welcome big-play target when the
Arizona Cardinals open their season Sunday in St. Louis.
Fitzgerald sat out the final three preseason games after spraining his right
knee on a nasty hit from Houston's Eugene Wilson. The injury occurred as
Fitzgerald caught a pass over the middle from Matt Leinart in Arizona's
preseason opener Aug. 14. Fitzgerald stayed in for another series and
reciprocated a big hit on Wilson, then left the game.
Fitzgerald said after practice Wednesday that he wanted to come back sooner but
the coaching staff insisted on a more cautious approach.
