Return to practice imminent Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Tuesday that Hopkins (undisclosed) is closing in on a return to full practice participation, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact A tight hamstring has hampered Hopkins at times during training camp, including keeping him sidelined both Monday and Tuesday. Ultimately, the goal is to have Hopkins enter Week 1 prep "comfortable with the game plan," per Kingsbury. As a result, Hopkins' practice reps may be limited if he gets back on the practice field this week.

Resumes practicing Hopkins (hamstring) returned to practice Wednesday, Mark McClune of Fox Sports Arizona reports.
Impact Hopkins shot down speculation that his absence from practice the past few days was related to dissatisfaction with his contract.

Expected back soon Coach Kliff Kingsbury relayed Monday that he expects Hopkins (hamstring) to return to practice soon, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.
Impact Hopkins has now missed two straight practices due to a sore hamstring, but the Cardinals are downplaying the star wideout's issue and don't expect it to linger. Once he's back on the field, Hopkins will look to continue building his rapport with QB Kyler Murray in advance of Week 1.

Tending to hamstring tightness Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Hopkins was held out of Sunday's practice due to tightness in his left hamstring, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact Kingsbury specified that the decision to hold Hopkins out of practice was precautionary, a hint that the superstar wideout isn't dealing with an injury of tremendous severity. It makes sense for the Cardinals to employ caution when it comes to the team's prized offseason acquisition, and Hopkins will have plenty of time to get healthy for Week 1. The 28-year-old has only missed two regular-season games since entering the league in 2013. Still, if Hopkins remains sidelined for any amount of training camp, it would mean missing valuable opportunities to build chemistry with new quarterback Kyler Murray.
