GLENDALE -- The Arizona Cardinals just concluded their 11th training camp practice at State Farm Stadium, affording fans one last opportunity to see their team in action before the preseason arrives.
The Cardinals ramped physicality up after a low day yesterday, going full pads and high tempo at Wednesday's practice.
Takeaways from Arizona's last public training camp practice:

Michael Wilson suffered a scary hit to the head nearly a week ago and has been in concussion protocol since.
Wilson showed some great signs of progress today, returning to the practice field donning the league's yellow non-contact jersey.

While Wilson didn't participate in team drills, he did go through individual/positional work and even fielded punts (not live) during the special teams portions.
Wilson is probably a stretch to play on Saturday alongside Arizona's other starters, though it was good to see him back on the field.
Wilson provides Kyler Murray with a reliable, big frame to haul in contested catches. He'll be needed if the Cardinals want to reach the next level offensively.
Arizona Cardinals WR Zay Jone

The Cardinals didn't have many prominent position battles to monitor once training camp began - though the spot between Greg Dortch and Zay Jones for WR3 in Arizona's offense was indeed one.
That gap continues to grow between Jones and Dortch, and with camp's last practice tomorrow - Jones has firmly entrenched himself as the third wideout behind Marvin Harrison Jr. and Wilson.
Jones got off to a slow start last season thanks to his suspension and never truly got settled in Drew Petzing's offense.
This year, it's a different tune.
Jones was listed as the team's WR3 on their first official depth chart, and Jones continues to impress - today it was blowing past Will Johnson during 1v1 drills and making an incredible catch down the sideline during team activities, which you can be the judge on if he actually came down with possession.
Great catch by Zay Jones here - but official says incomplete.

Jones has dominated reps with the first team for most of camp, and today was no different.
You can consider that position battle, over.
Arizona Cardinals OLB Josh Swea

Josh Sweat - Arizona's premier free agent signing this offseason - was fully dressed for practice and worked through position/individual drills, though he was not spotted during team drills today.
That could merely be a precaution with their preseason opener in just a few days. Teams don't have to disclose injury statuses during camp/preseason, so we likely won't know until after Saturday night's game if Sweat is dealing with anything and if it's serious.
Considering Sweat was fully dressed, it likely isn't - but noteworthy nonetheless.
