26 days remain until the Arizona Cardinals kick off the 2025 season at New Orleans. The No. 26 jersey in Cardinal lore has been a revolving door, worn by a handful of players who stuck around a year or two more often than becoming long-term fixtures. The current No. 26 is Jammie Robinson, battling to secure a spot after spending time on the roster late last season. The ledger of 26s stretches back to 1930s rosters and through the modern era, revealing a jersey used for depth and opportunity rather than marquee stardom.

Notable recent names include Eno Benjamin (2021-22) and Josh Jackson (2022), while Beanie Wells had a key 2011 season with over 1,000 rushing yards that still stands out in a long line of single-year wearers. Rashad Johnson is often cited as the most impactful Cardinal to wear 26, but the sequence underscores how the number has rarely signaled a sustained, defining run. The Saints loom in Week 1 as this jersey-docket continues to be a bridge to future roster moves and the evolving 2025 Cardinals squad.
