PHOENIX - The Arizona Cardinals reflected on the things they're thankful for this Thanksgiving.

In Larry Fitzgerald's case, he said it's just another day.

"I'm here, just thankful to be here, thankful to have a job. Thankful to have some family that loves me," he said.

While Fitz thought about the people in his life, Cardinals kicker Jay Feely is thankful to those that are serving our country. "I'm thankful for our freedom and the troops that aren't able to be with their families because they're providing us that freedom. I'm thankful for my family, my friends, my job. We've got a lot in this country to be thankful for."

Defensive tackle Darnell Dockett is thankful for his health. "Just to have the opportunity to live and see another day. With that said, I can do anything. Anything's possible."

"My family and my beautiful daughter," defensive tackle Dan Williams chimed in.

Finally, Cardinals defensive tackle Nick Eason is thankful for the gift of time. "A few things that I'm thankful for: I'm thankful for life, health and strength. I thank God for my family and I'm also thankful that God allowed me to spend a lot of quality time with my mom before she passed away in August. Happy Thanksgiving."
