The Arizona Cardinals will begin the next part of the offseason program on Monday with the start of OTAs (voluntary organized activities).
But before that, some Cardinals players enjoyed an afternoon out on Sunday.
Quarterback Kyler Murray and a few of his teammates joined him on Sunday at Chase Field to watch the Arizona Diamondbacks as they beat the Detroit Tigers 6-4 in their series finale.
The Diamondbacks’ social media team caught a photo.
It was Murray, receiver Greg Dortch, guard Will Hernandez, tackle Paris Johnson and center Hjalte Froholdt.
It’s always fun to see the local pro athletes showing up for and supporting the other local teams.
In this case, the Diamondbacks won, so it was clearly because Murray and teammates were there (not at all because the Diamondbacks are 5-0 in their last five series finales and 6-1 in their last seven.
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray and former teammate Larry Fitzgerald will play in the BlitzChamps III chess tournament for charity.
Fitzgerald will be competing in his third BlitzChamps tournament while Murray will be competing in his second. Both of them are seeking their first championship in the event.
The first prize winner will win $30,000 and will donate it to the charity of their choice. Up to $100,000 will be donated in this year’s BlitzChamps tournament.
NFL Films will be documenting this year’s tournament and its players, past and present, as part of their NFL Films Presents series airing this season on NFL Network and Fox Sports One, according to a press release.
Along with Murray and Fitzgerald, six other former and current NFL players will be competing in the tournament.
Quarterback Michael Vick, who played in the NFL for 13 seasons, will be making his debut in the tournament.
Indianapolis Colts guard Quenton Nelson and Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mack Hollins will also be new competitors.
Kansas City Chiefs’ Drue Tranquill and Justin Reid will be competing in this year’s edition of BlitzChamps.
Tranquill will be defending his title as he won last year’s tournament.
