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.

53-man rosters are set across the NFL, but the cuts that stunned fantasy-minded fans are only beginning to ripple through the waiver wire. The arc of surprises runs from Simi Fehoko in Arizona to Dan Skipper in Detroit, with notable shakeups like Dane Jackson in Buffalo and Hunter Renfrow in Carolina. Rivaldo Fairweather, Tyler Scott, and Jordan Fuller also landed on headlines as teams reshuffled depth. Expect a wave of waiver activity and mid-roster moves in the next 24–48 hours that could alter rookie upside and late-round targets.

Arizona Cardinals trimmed to 53, releasing 10 vested veterans who aren’t subject to waivers. Those players—Aaron Brewer, Michael Carter, Jake Curhan, DeeJay Dallas, Josiah Deguara, Simi Fehoko, Darren Hall, Nick Leverett, Royce Newman, Mykal Walker—will pursue free agency, with Brewer likely to be brought back. Fehoko counts as a veteran for practice squad purposes. The move signals roster reshaping around depth and special-teams continuity, while waivers rules remain a factor for non-vested players.

The cuts, paired with the looming question of long snapper, reflect the Cardinals’ focus on flexibility and upside in a post-cut frenzy. Rise Up, See Red covers the latest moves and implications for fantasy rosters on Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Podcasts.

Jaguars study the waiver wire after final cuts, targeting six players at WR and CB who could boost Jacksonville’s depth. The group includes Chris Lammons, Courtney Jackson, Simi Fehoko, Myles Bryant, KJ Osborn, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Cornelius Johnson. Waiver priority, four-year experience rules, and the possibility of immediate roster moves shape the plan as Gladstone refines the roster.

With receivers needing more bite and the secondary needing depth, Jacksonville weighs proven help and upside options who could contribute quickly. The strategy centers on bolstering nickel/slot coverage and adding a big-bodied target for Liam Coen’s system, while leveraging any veteran presence to stabilize the depth chart and fantasy relevance alike.
