Arizona Cardinals Reshape Roster Amid Injuries, Practice Squad Moves

The Arizona Cardinals continue to adjust their roster following the initial 53-man cut, with head coach Jonathan Gannon emphasizing the fluid nature of the roster in the early weeks. They re-signed long-snapper Aaron Brewer and placed injured defensive lineman Justin Jones on injured reserve, joining other injured players like Hayden Conner and Christian Jones. The team also added several players to their practice squad, including cornerback Chigozie Anusiem and quarterback Kedon Slovis, with an international player exemption granted for offensive lineman Roy Mbaeteka. Guard Will Hernandez returned to practice after an ACL injury, though his status for Week 1 remains uncertain, while first-round pick Walter Nolen remains on the Physically Unable to Perform list and is expected to miss at least the first four games. Meanwhile, other NFL teams also made their cuts, with 17 former Louisville players making 53-man rosters, reflecting the broader league-wide roster adjustments. The Cardinals and Patriots alike continue to evaluate and tweak their rosters as they prepare for the upcoming season.
