Arizona’s preseason finale vs. Las Vegas ended 20-10 with only one notable scare: Jaylon Jones exiting for a concussion evaluation. Coach Jonathan Gannon downplayed the issue, signaling Jones should be fine ahead of roster decisions. Four Cardinals sit on the active PUP list (Bilal Nichols, Walter Nolen, BJ Ojulari, Will Hernandez) and are likely to start the season there, while knee injuries to Christian Jones, Hayden Conner and Justin Jones could push them to IR before Week 1. Cut-downs loom as teams finalize 53-man rosters.

Beyond Jones, the Cardinals must navigate whether to activate or IR the knee trio and how those moves affect depth roles and special teams. The Raiders game provided little in the way of new injury drama, but the looming roster cut date creates a high-stakes window for evaluation and decision-making as Phoenix approaches the final roster snapshot.
