STANFORD, Calif. -- Stanford coach David Shaw said running back Christian McCaffrey is feeling better and is hopeful that the 2015 Heisman Trophy finalist will be back in the lineup against Colorado on Saturday.McCaffrey has been sidelined since suffering an undisclosed injury in the first half against Washington State on Oct. 8. He did not play in last weeks win against Notre Dame and the Cardinal (4-2, 2-2 Pac-12) are continuing to take a cautious approach with him.Shaw told reporters that McCaffrey was scheduled to do some on-field work Tuesday. He could be cleared to join practice on Wednesday.Well get him on the field to do some things today but probably wont get him a chance to practice, if he can practice, until maybe a little bit tomorrow if he feels good today, Shaw said. If not, then well do like last week and see if he can go on Friday.McCaffrey leads Stanford with 520 rushing yards and three touchdowns this year in a follow-up to his fantastic sophomore season when he set an FBS record with 3,496 all-purpose yards, including a school-record 2,019 yards on the ground.Sophomore Bryce Love filled in for McCaffrey against Notre Dame and ran well, finishing with a career-best 129 yards and one touchdown on 23 carries. Love, who missed Stanfords first game of the season with a foot injury, will get the nod again if McCaffrey is unable to play against Colorado (5-2, 3-1).Love was originally charged with fumbling near the goal line in the fourth quarter during the win over the Irish but was credited with a 7-yard touchdown following a scoring change. Love also scored on the ensuing two-point conversion in a game the Cardinal won 17-10.Fullback Chris Harrell said hes comfortable with whoever runs the ball for Stanford.Its different but I have total confidence in Bryce, Harrell said. I play with him every day and I see how hard he works, I see how hard he runs. For a guy his size hes one of the grittiest runners Ive seen in a long time. I like blocking for him just as much as I like blocking for Christian.In addition to McCaffrey being questionable, fullback Daniel Marx has been ruled out because of an injury. Right tackle David Bright is also questionable and Shaw said that Casey Tucker will start if Bright is unable to play.Stanford is trying to get its season back on track following a pair of lopsided losses to Washington and Washington State followed by the closer-than-expected win over Notre Dame.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Tyrann Mathieu, Justin Bethel and Frostee Rucker practiced for the first time this training camp Sunday and Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said theres no doubt all three will be ready for the Sept. 11 season opener.Mathieu, an All-Pro safety last season who is coming back from surgery to repair a torn right ACL, participated in several plays 11-on-11 drills with the first unit, surprising himself and his teammates with how much he was able to do.Ive got my swag back, he said. I feel good, confident.Bethel, a cornerback, is returning from foot surgery and defensive lineman Rucker had a foot injury that might have been related to offseason ankle surgery.Arians also welcomed back wide receiver John Brown, out with a concussion since early in camp. However, Brown went back in the locker room after doing some individual work.Arians said outside linebacker Alex Okafor, who did not practice, had decided to keep playing despite a torn biceps tendon rather than opt for surgery.Mathieu returns a much wealthier Honey Badger after he signed a five-year, $62.5 million that included $21.5 million guaranteed and another $18.75 million guaranteed if hes on the roster at the start of the 2018 season.The do-everything player is listed as a safety but played more snaps at cornerback last season before he went down with the knee injury on Dec. 20. It was his second significant knee injury in his three NFL seasons. He sustained a far more severe injury to his left knee in his rookie season.Mathieu said he was real surprised by how good he felt and how much he was able to do in his first practice.I didnt feel any pain. I didnt really get tight at all, he said. I was surprised with where I was at but I also was pleased with what Ive been doing.Bethel, a three-time Pro Bowl selection on special teams, started four games at cornerback last season and was considered a leading candidate for the job this year opposite All-Pro Patrick Peterson. But, in Bethels absence, the job has gone to rookie Brandon Williams.Bethel, who participated in 7-on-7 drills and a little bit of 11-on-11, said he would love to think he could win the starting job but understands that might not happen.ddddddddddddBrandons been playing really well, Bethel said. Either way, the way we run our defense, well all be out there at some point.Williams struggled in his first preseason game but was noticeably improved in Friday nights 19-3 loss at San Diego. Arians said Williams also showed improvement in the teams two joint practices with the Chargers.I thought Brandon got really better last week, Arians said before practice Sunday, going against different receivers, seeing different things. I thought he held his own all week.Asked if he thought Mathieu, Bethel and Rucker would be ready for the opener against New England, Arians said, Theres no doubt. Its just a matter of conditioning now, football conditioning, hit, getting the pad level down and all the things weve been doing the last 15-18 days.Okafor, in the final year of his contract, missed nearly all of his rookie season with a biceps injury but came back with a team-high eight sacks in 2014. He got in the coachs dog house last season when he injured his toe during the teams bye playoff weekend and wasnt able to play in the postseason.Arians said he was hopeful first-round draft pick, defensive lineman Robert Nkemdiche, would be able to practice some Wednesday. Nkemdiche has been sidelined with a high ankle sprain since rookie training camp four weeks ago.The Cardinals have been outscored 49-13 in two losses this preseason but Arians brushed aside any concern. He was unhappy -- he used a stronger word -- with the offenses performance in San Diego after the game but didnt dwell on the subject on Sunday.He considers 95 percent of the teams problems Friday night to be easily correctable.Nobodys shaken in their confidence in any way. Its preseason, Arians said. I think the tendency (of those outside the team) is `woe is me but when our starters have played maybe 20 plays, thats not even Wednesday. Nkemdiche has been side'
