EDGE Analysis

O'Neill has also been able to do light agility and running drills as he tries to finally get over the hump in his recovery from a lingering back injury. He went on the 10-day injured list May 5 and was transferred Friday to the 60-day injured list. The best-case target for his return to the Cardinals is early July.
