The 10-time Pro Bowler led the NFL in receptions this season with 107. He also leads active receivers in career receptions with 1,125.
Fitzgerald, speaking Tuesday at the Waste Management Phoenix Open after participating in the Special Olympics Open, said his body is never at 100 percent but that he feels “good” and his body is in the process of “coming back.”
The Cardinals and coach Bruce Arians have been waiting to hear the decisions on whether Fitzgerald and quarterback Carson Palmer would return.
“I feel very comfortable with where they’re at and what’s going to happen,” Arians said Tuesday. “Like everybody else, I’ve got my fingers crossed, and I think when the juices start flowing and the injuries go away, they’ll both be back, but there’s nothing to confirm yet.”
