The Facts: Multiple reporters watching Cardinals practice on Monday reported that Drake was wearing a walking boot on his foot.

Diehards Line: HC Kliff Kingsbury downplayed the nature of Drake’s ailment after practice. He said that Drake is dealing with soreness and that the boot was being used for precautionary reasons. As long as Drake’s time on the sideline is brief, there shouldn’t be any impact on his availability for the season opener. That would likely change if he remains in the boot for more than a few days, however.
