Arizona trimmed to 53, signaling a fluid, week-to-week roster with heavy practice-squad planning. Surprise cuts included Simi Fehoko, DeeJay Dallas, and Darren Hall; Fehoko and Hall landed on Arizona's practice squad while Dallas moved on to the Panthers. Clayton Tune joined Green Bay after training camp with the Cardinals. Arizona filled its practice squad with versatile depth players such as Andre Baccellia, Elliott Brown, Jeremiah Byers, Michael Carter, Jake Curhan, Josiah Deguara, Kedon Slovis, Nick Leverett, Tejhaun Palmer, Elijah Simmons and Chigozie Anusiem, among others, while Walter Nolen, Bilal Nichols and BJ Ojulari sit on PUP and Justin Jones on IR.

Injuries and fluid mobility loom large for Week 1 depth, with Justin Jones on IR and Brewer back on the active roster after a cut. The roster moves underscore how ARI will rely on a strong practice-squad scaffold to absorb early-season gaps and potential injuries, while still keeping an eye on late cuts and waiver adds that can alter the Week 1 picture.

Arizona Cardinals add Kedon Slovis to the practice squad, sliding him in as the No. 3 quarterback after a mid-offseason reshuffle that unseated Clayton Tune. The club also brings back Roy Mbaeteka and adds Demontrey Jacobs and Chigozie Anusiem to the squad, while releasing Sincere Haynesworth. Tune signing with Green Bay’s practice squad closes a quarterback cross-town shuffle. The Cardinals pushed to 16 practice-squad players, with plans for at least one more addition Friday.

The moves firm up depth behind the presumed starter and suggest a longer leash for Slovis to develop in the system, while Jacobs and Anusiem provide interior-line and defensive depth. This is more about organizational insurance than immediate fantasy relevance, though Slovis could be a post-injury dart if the Cardinals lean on mop-up duty at any point.

Arizona trimmed its roster to 53 ahead of today’s deadline, releasing Jammie Robinson after a preseason push at cornerback. Robinson, a Florida State product, showcased energy and versatility but faced a crowded depth chart in Arizona and could land back on the practice squad if unclaimed on waivers. The Cardinals’ cut list spans multiple positions, signaling a broader evaluation of both veteran depth and young upside as they seek waiver-wire upgrades and practice-squad flexibility.

Fantasy players should monitor how the Cardinals reassemble their CB room and whether any cuts land on practice squads in the coming days. The combination of new depth and potential waiver-day movement could create short-term opportunities or shifting roles for Cardinals pass-catchers and rookies. With a number of the released players having preseason involvement, expect late-week signings or claims that could impact special-teams and situational roles in Week 1 preparations.

Isaiah Simmons was released by Green Bay ahead of the 53-man cutoff, opening a fresh chapter for a former top-10 pick whose career has been a tale of positional versatility. Simmons posted 329 tackles in five seasons but started only five times over the past two years, making him a prime candidate for a defensive chess piece on a new squad. Fantasy managers should monitor his next landing for a potential role that blends linebacker, nickel, and safety duties.

Arizona’s cuts included several depth pieces, notably Andre Baccellia and Clayton Tune, underscoring how quickly rookie or depth players shift on NFL rosters. Tune, a Cardinals quarterback, could be a camp-to-practice-squad hopeful, while Baccellia’s speed gives him a path as a return specialist or depth option if he lands elsewhere. Simmons’ next destination will heavily influence his fantasy upside, depending on scheme fit and opportunity.

In the broader context, Ridder and Barnes were also mentioned among cuts, highlighting the ongoing churn around rosters and depth charts. For fantasy, Simmons’ future hinges on finding a defense that can maximize multi-position versatility; if he lands in a role with clearly defined responsibilities, he could offer opportunistic tackle numbers and occasional splash plays, while a crowded depth chart could depress early upside.
