​When the Arizona Cardinals reported to training camp on Wednesday, July 22, it still felt as if their season opener existed in a different orbit. Fifty-two days, after all, separated the Cardinals’ first practice from their Week 1 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.That’s a lot of time, and it’s a crucial period for new head coach Mike LaFleur to build the foundation for what he hopes will be the next winning generation of Cardinals football. So, what do the next seven weeks actually include? Here is an overview of the schedule and what the Cardinals will aim to accomplish.Training campThe Cardinals arrived at training camp on Wednesday, with their first practice session one day later. That began nearly three weeks of practices at State Farm Stadium, eight of which are open to the public.This is perhaps the most important stretch of the offseason for LaFleur and his staff. The Cardinals installed their new offense — as well as some tweaks to Nick Rallis’ defense — during spring practices, but training camp is the first opportunity to run those plays at full speed, with pads on.It’s when they’ll learn what works and what doesn’t. It’s when they’ll be able to practice new techniques at something resembling game speed. And it’s when players will stake a claim to starting jobs and roster spots.Training camp at State Farm Stadium will conclude on Aug. 11, with the final public session being the Red and White practice on Aug. 9. After a trip to Las Vegas to face the Raiders on Aug. 13, the Cardinals will move operations to their Tempe training facility. Because they play in the Hall of Fame Game on Aug. 6, the Cardinals were permitted to start training camp a week earlier than most teams. There was minimal advantage over the rest of their division, though, as each of their three NFC West foes also had exemptions to start training camp early due to their Week 1 schedules.PreseasonThe Cardinals’ preseason schedule:Aug. 6: Cardinals vs. Panthers, Canton, OhioAug. 13: Cardinals at Raiders, Las Vegas Aug. 22: Cowboys at Cardinals, Glendale Aug. 28: Cardinals at Packers, Green Bay, WisconsinIt remains to be seen to what extent the Cardinals will play their starters in preseason games.LaFleur arrives in Arizona after three seasons with the Rams, who almost never play important players during the preseason. But the Rams are an annual Super Bowl contender filled with veterans, for whom health is paramount. The Cardinals might take a different approach as they prioritize player development.The Hall of Fame Game typically features players vying for roster spots, while the preseason finale in Green Bay comes two days after a joint practice. That means the Raiders and Cowboys games are the most likely opportunities for LaFleur to test his starters in game situations. Each game, though, is crucial for players on the roster bubble.Joint practiceThe Cardinals are set to hold one joint practice this summer,
