Jacoby Brissett, Josh Sweat present but don't practice in minicamp

The Arizona Cardinals held their first practice of mandatory minicamp on Tuesday and had two guys present who had not been around during the entire voluntary part of the offseason. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett and linebacker Josh Sweat were present but did not participate in on-field drills.

Brissett has been sitting out in a contract dispute with the team. Expected to be the starting quarterback, he wants his contract to reflect that.

Sweat, while there are reports he isn’t happy, did his training on his own.

Sweat was seen on the field but was on the sideline watching.

Head coach Mike LaFleur said that Sweat didn’t practice because he hasn’t been in the building. He needs a ramp-up. He said Sweat would practice if he could.

Brissett was in meetings, but LaFleur wouldn’t say whether Brissett would have practiced.

Brissett threw the ball around a little in warmups, but watched the rest of practice.

The Cardinals will have one more practice and then break until training camp.
