The NFL announced a total of 28 joint practices scheduled in August during the preseason. Joint practices have become the norm with a three-game preseason. Teams like them because they can have competitive but controlled reps against another team in game-like scenarios without the randomness of games. As many teams would rather not play their starters too many snaps in the preseason when the games don’t count, these practices give them both practice reps and competitive game-like reps all at once.
The Arizona Cardinals and the rest of the NFC West all have joint practices scheduled, some more than one.
Let’s look at the division’s scheduled joint practices.
Arizona Cardinals joint practices
The Cardinals have one single joint practice scheduled with the Green Bay Packers on Aug. 26 ahead of their preseason finale. The practice will be in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
LA Rams joint practices
The Rams will have joint practices ahead of two preseason games. They will host the Dallas Cowboys for one in Los Angeles on Aug. 11. They will also host the New Orleans Saints in Los Angeles on Aug. 20.
San Francisco 49ers joint practices
The 49ers will also have two joint practices. Their first one is with the Tennessee Titans in Santa Clara on Aug. 11. The next week, on Aug. 18, they will head to El Segundo, California, for a joint practice with the LA Chargers.
Seattle Seahawks joint practices
Like the Cardinals, the Seahawks will only hold one joint practice, and it will be on the road. They will practice with the Tennessee Titans in Nashville on Aug. 21 ahead of their second preseason game.
