GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Everyone who pays attention to the NFL knows the Arizona Cardinals are loaded at wide receiver.Theres Larry Fitzgerald, of course, Michael Floyd and speedy John Brown. Last year the Cardinals added J.J. Nelson, who may be the speediest of all.But theres another Brown on the roster, Jaron, and hes been the most impressive receiver in training camp.Jaron Brown got to the NFL the hard way. He signed with Arizona as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Clemson in April 2013 and has played in all of the Cardinals 51 games since then. He has 44 catches in those three seasons for 513 yards and four touchdowns.Those are the guys you fall in love with, coach Bruce Arians said. He made it on special teams, then he made it as a receiver and he continues to improve in both areas. His value goes up and up and up.With Fitzgerald, John Brown and Nelson all sidelined with injuries at one time or another, Jaron has had a lot of time with the first unit.Thats the main thing. Hes gotten opportunity, quarterback Carson Palmer said. For whatever reason, over the years, he just hasnt been on the field because theres guys in front of him and hes been the young guy, the undrafted guy. With Smokey (John Brown) being down for a number of days of practice and then J.J. being down and Larry being down, hes just gotten the opportunity and seized it.Brown said hes certain Palmer has grown more confident in him.That comes in practice and repetition, he said, constantly doing those routes and getting the timing down.Making it in the league the way he did makes him appreciate it, maybe more than a drafted player would.Cant take anything for granted, Brown said. I came in the undrafted route. Really special teams were part of my entry into the league and still are.He plays on all of them -- punts, punt returns, kickoffs and kickoff returns.Hes got length and speed and hes tough, Arians said. Hes got a defensive players mentality. For a receiver to be a core special teamer, its a very unique skill set.Brown said hes worked on the technical aspects of being a receiver this training camp. He doesnt think about where he fits on the depth chart or how much more playing time he might get on another team.I just look at it like Ive got to be ready because I know my number is going to get called upon, he said, and whenever that does happen, I just want to make sure Im able to go in there and theres no letup.Brown knows the plays for all the receiver positions.I think its important just because you never know when a guy might go down, he said. Just to be able to go in there and step up and fill that spot makes you more valuable.This camp, hes had to do that in place of one receiver or another in just about every practice.Im just taking advantage of my opportunity, Brown said, and making the most of it.Game notes Fitzgerald sat out practice for the second day in a row to rest a sore knee. Arians said it was uncertain if Fitzgerald would play in Sunday nights game at Houston. ... Thursdays practice was the last to be open to the public. The team has a short workout closed to the public on Friday then will break camp. ...

LOS ANGELES -- Knuckleballer Steven Wright dazzled in a three-hit shutout, which was a perfect homecoming performance.The Torrance, California, native befuddled the Dodgers for nine innings, Mookie Betts had one of Bostons three homers and Sandy Leon drove in four runs to help the Red Sox cruise to a 9-0 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night with David Ortiz out of the lineup in an NL park.Wright was greeted with a big bear hug from Ortiz after he put the finishing touches on his first career shutout.Its definitely nice to do it in a homecoming, said Wright, whose mom, dad, sister, brother and wife were in attendance. Watching Dodgers games is what I did growing up. To have an opportunity to pitch here was fun. To be able to throw my first complete-game shutout was icing on the cake.Wright (13-5) had nine strikeouts in his third complete game this season. He retired 15 in a row during one stretch and won his fifth straight decision.Leon hit a two-run homer in the fourth. The switch-hitting catcher has had an outstanding summer, batting .467 in June and .355 in July.Travis Shaw also homered, connecting for the 14th time this season. This was a homecoming for him as well, since his dad, Jeff Shaw, was a former Dodgers closer and All-Star. The ball landed in the Red Sox bullpen and was already in his locker for safe keeping after the game.Rounding the bases was unbelievable, Shaw said. Ill remember that for a long time.Dodgers starter Scott Kazmir (9-5) has lost two straight since a 13-start unbeaten streak. He allowed four runs on five hits in 5 1/3 innings.This game was all Boston and all Wright.I was just trying to go out there and establish your knuckleball for called strikes, Wright said. I think thats the biggest thing for knuckleballs. You want to show the hitters youre going for strikes and getting swings.Betts hit his 23rd of the year in the third, and Shaw, who replaced Dustin Pedroia in the lineup after Pedroia left the game with a left shin bruise, hit a solo homer in the eighth to give Boston a 5-0 lead.I do think that with a knuckleballer, a lot of righties have a little bit more success, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. I liked our guys against him, but its still a different visual. ... The ball was moving, changing speeds, eye level. He was doing everythhing he could to be effective.ddddddddddddOrtiz was on the field as the Dodgers honored him in a pregame ceremony. Legendary broadcaster Vin Scully narrated a video tribute while Ortiz stood with former teammates Nomar Garciaparra, Adrian Gonzalez and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts.The Dodgers presented Ortiz with a $10,000 check to his foundation, The David Ortiz Childrens Fund.

Ill learn eventually.TRAINERS ROOMRed Sox: Ryan Hanigan was forced to leave Thursday nights game against the Mariners after taking a pitch off his left ankle.
