GLENDALE, Ariz. -- All-Pro cornerback Patrick Peterson arrived at training camp via helicopter , a grand entrance befitting a team with great expectations.With nearly everyone back from a 13-3 season -- a journey immortalized in the acclaimed All or Nothing video series -- the team is embracing the idea that it should be a top contender for 2016.When players reported for camp Thursday, there were a couple of pieces of news. All-Pro defensive back Tyrann Mathieu, returning from knee surgery, said he expects to be practicing in maybe three weeks or so. And first-round draft pick Robert Nkemdiche is sidelined with a sprained ankle and is listed as day to day.Coach Bruce Arians said the veterans who reported Thursday easily passed the conditioning test. The first practice will be Friday in the air conditioned confines of University of Phoenix Stadium.The goal, Arians said, to nobodys surprise, Win the Super Bowl. Nothing else will be acceptable.It was the goal a year ago, too, and the Cardinals seemed well on their way before a blowout loss at Carolina in the NFC championship game.The expectations havent changed, Arians said, but when you have the type of season we had you expect to do better. So weve got to do better. Weve got to get back to where we were first, and then do better.The Arizona roster has been bolstered, most notably by the addition of outside linebacker Chandler Jones in a trade with New England. The Cardinals also signed veteran right guard Evan Mathis and drafted the big defensive lineman Nkemdiche.Arians said Nkemdiche sprained an ankle in the first day of rookie camp Tuesday.You never know with those things, Arians said. Each day youve got to find out about them.Mathieu, the fiery heart of the Arizona defense, is coming off his second knee surgery in his three NFL seasons. This one, while not as serious as the first, involved repairing a torn right ACL. He begins camp on the physically unable to perform list but has tweeted that he didnt expect to be there long.Thats me being optimistic, he said Thursday, me seeing the progress that Ive been making the last eight or so months. Im extremely confident. If coach wanted me to do some drills today I probably could do them.The Cardinals return every player who gained a yard or scored a point for their highly prolific offense a year ago.Its led to a feeling from those outside the organization that these Cardinals might be the team to beat in the NFC.Thats great, Arians said. Thats nice. It helps solidify what youre telling them. Youve obviously earned the right now to be considered a good football team, somebody that theyre picking in the top five or six. Now its your job to show up and do it.There will be competition in camp, particularly at safety and for the cornerback spot opposite Peterson. A leading candidate for the latter, Justin Bethel, had a minor setback a few weeks ago in his comeback from foot surgery and begins camp on the physically unable to perform list.A.Q. Shipley is holding down the center spot for now, with Earl Watford able to play that or any other position along the offensive line. But Arians indicated rookie center Evan Boehm has a way to go.Theres too much volume for him there to learn, plus the techniques, Arians said. Hes going to be a hell of a player, but it aint going to be next week.The All or Nothing series by NFL Films, available on Amazon, has made the team and its many personalities familiar to fans across the country, which should lead to closer scrutiny once play begins.That turned out really well for all the organization, Arians said. The one thing that I thought that it showed the most was how close this group is -- from ownership all the way down -- and that everybody in that locker room has each others back. That was the best message coming from that.Several top players are entering the final year of their contracts, among them Mathieu, Jones, Larry Fitzgerald, Michael Floyd and Calais Campbell. Mathieus is expected to be the first to be addressed.I love it when you have that many guys with contract years, Arians said. Theyre going to be doing everything they can to impress us and everybody else.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Wholesale Air Jordan . But what about the officials?

Australian swim star Cate Campbell says she only helped set a new Olympic record to avoid training.Campbell and her fellow 4x100m freestyle relayers emphatically underlined their gold-medal favouritism at the Rio Games with a stunning swim in the heats on Saturday.With sisters Cate and Bronte Campbell opening their Rio campaigns, the Australians clocked 3 minutes 32.39 seconds to be quickest qualifiers for Saturday nights final.Following Madi Wilson and Brittany Elmslie into the water, Bronte and then Cate helped eclipse the previous Olympic mark of 3:33.15 set by Australia when winning gold at the London Games four years ago.But Cate says she had ulterior motives for deciding to race in the heat, rather than save herself for Saturday nights final.I decided to have a hit-out, otherwise I would have to come in and do a training session and its madness in that warm-up pool, she said.And her sibling Bronte issued an ominous warning: they have plenty in reserve.We were put in a good position so Cate and I could have a bit of a blow out without giving it everything, Bronte said.Earlier in the opening swimming session of Rios Olympics, fellow Australian 400m freestyler Mackk Horton lit the fuse in his ongoing rivalry with Chinas Sun Yang.ddddddddddddHorton qualified second fastest for Saturday nights final after a heat swim against a field also featuring Chinas Sun Yang, who served a doping suspension in 2014.The pair had a flashpoint at the training pool earlier in the week when world champion Sun, who also advanced to the final, tried to distract the Australian Olympic debutant.He splashed me to say hi and I ignored him. I dont have time or respect for drug cheats, Horton said.Hortons comments came after compatriots Thomas Fraser-Holmes (400m individual medley), Emma McKeon (100m butterfly) and Jake Packard (100m breaststroke) advanced in their respective events.Fraser-Holmes will race in Saturday nights final while McKeon and Packard will contest semi-finals on the same night.Australians who didnt progress in their events after Saturdays heats were Travis Mahoney (400m medley), Keryn McMaster and Blair Evans in the womens 400m medley, Madeline Groves (100m butterfly) and Joshua Palmer (100m breaststroke).
