TEMPE, Ariz. -- With the Arizona Cardinals' bye week coming just four weeks into the season, it gives the team a chance to recover and regroup after three games.

During his Monday news conference following Arizona's 23-14 win against the San Francisco 49ers, coach Bruce Arians said the Cardinals will focus on young players this week before preparing for Denver on Oct. 5.

"The big thing right now is to get some young players some action for depth," he said. "We will not wear pads but we've got to get some guys some work, (quarterback) Logan (Thomas) in particular, Coop (guard Jonathan Cooper), (guard) Earl Watford. Get some guys some quality snaps -- (defensive linemen) Ed Stinson, Kareem (Martin) and Alameda (Ta'amu), and all of those guys who are all in backup roles, get them some work and get them up to speed.

"I would love to have both days in pads but we just can't do it."
