"To be honest with you, I just don't have the urge to play right now," Fitzgerald said via NFL Network. "I don't know how I'll feel in September, October, November moving forward but I just, today, I just don't have the urge. And I think I have to be respectful of that… Football is not one of those games you want to walk out there and play and not be fully engaged and ready to prepare and do the things necessary that you need to do."
During the offseason, Fitzgerald hasn’t been clear on whether or not he’d return this year.
Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury reportedly told Fitzgerald prior to training camp that the ball was in his court. In the meantime, Arizona improved the position by signing veteran A.J. Green and drafting Rondale Moore out of Purdue in the 2021 NFL Draft.
