The Arizona Cardinals have completed their roster cuts, finalizing a 53-man lineup in preparation for the 2026 NFL season. The deadline for these roster decisions passed at 3:00 PM Arizona time.
The initial roster includes three quarterbacks: Jacoby Brissett, Gardner Minshew, and Carson Beck. The running back group features Jeremiyah Love, Tyler Allgeier, and Bam Knight, while the wide receiver corps consists of Marvin Harrison Jr., Michael Wilson, Kendrick Bourne, Devin Duvernay, Reggie Virgil, Simi Fehoko, and Jalen Brooks. The tight ends are Trey McBride, Elijah Higgins, and Hunter Long.
On the offensive line, the Cardinals have nine players, including Paris Johnson Jr. and Isaac Seumalo. The defensive line includes Walter Nolen III and Darius Robinson, while the outside linebacker group features Josh Sweat and Zaven Collins. The inside linebackers are Mack Wilson Sr. and Cody Simon, and the secondary consists of five cornerbacks and five safeties, including Budda Baker.
The team has placed running back James Conner and defensive lineman Zach Carter on injured reserve, both with a designation to return after missing at least the first four games. Additionally, Tip Reiman has been placed on the PUP list, meaning he will also miss the first four games.
Hunter Long is the only new addition to the roster, having been acquired from the Jacksonville Jaguars shortly before the deadline. Coach Mike LaFleur noted that the roster was largely expected, stating that there wasn’t much room for surprises, especially after the team dressed only 40 players for their preseason finale against Green Bay.
