Tip Reiman Tip Reiman Should be ready for training camp
Sun, Jun 14, 2026, 2:25 PM
Reiman (ankle) is tracking to be ready for training camp, Jess Root of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Reiman is recovering from a season-ending ankle injury suffered in early October. The 2024 third-rounder has caught nine passes in his career despite playing all 17 regular-season games for the Cardinals in 2024, as well as the first four games of the 2025 campaign. When healthy, Reiman will still likely serve as the No. 2 tight end behind star Trey McBride. |

Kenny Yeboah Kenny Yeboah Signs with Arizona
Thu, Jun 11, 2026, 7:07 PM
Yeboah (knee) signed with the Cardinals on Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The tight end appears to be healthy again after missing the 2025 campaign with a knee issue. Yeboah saw regular-season action each year with the Jets from 2021-2024, though he played more on special teams than offense during most of that time. |

Dealing with hamstring issue
Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 6:36 PM
Sharar did not participate during OTAs due to a hamstring injury, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Coach Mike LaFleur said Wednesday that Sharar will be ready to go for training camp in July, so it doesn't seem to be a serious concern at this point. As the Cardinals' minicamp wraps up, rookie undrafted free agent Stephen Dix could see an uptick in practice reps during Sharar's absence. |

Expects to return for training camp
Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 6:30 PM
Coach Mike LaFleur said Wednesday that Nolen (knee) is trending towards being ready for training camp in July, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Nolen underwent surgery in December to repair a torn meniscus, so a return for training camp seems like a reasonable timeline. As long as he remains sidelined during practice, PJ Mustipher could see more work with the first-team defensive line. |

Back for minicamp
Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 4:09 PM
Clark (back) was spotted participating in minicamp on Tuesday, Megan Mendoza of AZcentral.com reports.
Analysis: Clark finished Arizona's 2025 campaign on IR due to a back injury, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. He contributed on both defense (201 snaps) and special teams (168 snaps) last season, recording 25 total tackles, two passes defensed and one forced fumble across 14 appearances. Now fully healthy, Clark is expected to compete for a similar role as the offseason progresses. |

Tears meniscus
Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 4:04 PM
Head coach Mike LaFleur told reporters Wednesday that Proctor tore his meniscus during OTAs and will miss significant time, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Proctor, a 2026 fourth-round pick from Southeastern Louisiana, was expected to compete for Arizona's top reserve defensive-tackle spot prior to tearing his meniscus in OTAs. During his three final collegiate seasons, Proctor appeared in 36 contests and posted 24 tackles for loss, including 15.0 sacks. |

Returning for Week 1?
Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 3:37 PM
Head coach Mike LaFleur told reporters Wednesday that Williams (Achilles) could return for the Cardinals' regular-season opener, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis: Williams, who tore his Achilles in late December of 2025, is progressing better than expected and now has a chance to return for Arizona's Week 1 matchup against the Chargers on Sept. 13. The fourth-year pro from Syracuse was a crucial part of the Cardinals' secondary in 2025, recording 46 total tackles, five passes defensed, including one interception, and one forced fumble across just 10 contests. |

Jacoby Brissett Jacoby Brissett Coach won't name starting QB
Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 2:41 PM
Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur declined Wednesday to name a starting quarterback, though Brissett reported for the start of mandatory minicamp on Monday, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Analysis: LaFleur's lack of an answer when asked about Arizona's starting quarterback may partially be posturing, after Brissett held out of voluntary workouts earlier in the offseason due to dissatisfaction with his current contract. It wouldn't be out of the question, however, for the Cardinals to host a competition that includes backup Gardner Minshew and rookie third-rounder Carson Beck if the team suspects Brissett will enact a "hold in" as the offseason progresses. Brissett is heading into the final season of his two-year deal and is slated to carry a $4.88 million salary in 2026. Earlier in the offseason, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN reports that Arizona informed Brissett (who was in attendance for Tuesday's minicamp practice but did not participate) he would be the team's starter for 2026. |

Back for mandatory minicamp
Mon, Jun 8, 2026, 3:21 PM
Sweat was present for the Cardinals' mandatory minicamp Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Sweat chose not to participate in Arizona's voluntary OTAs, but he's now returned for mandatory minicamp. The veteran edge rusher impressed during his first season with the Cardinals, appearing in all 17 games and posting 30 total tackles, including a career-high 12.0 sacks, four forced fumbles and two passes defensed. He's expected to remain one of the NFL's top pass rushers ahead of the 2026 season. |

Jacoby Brissett Jacoby Brissett Reports for mandatory minicamp
Mon, Jun 8, 2026, 1:20 PM
Brissett reported for the start of mandatory minicamp Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Brissett would've been subject to fines if he didn't show up for minicamp after he stayed away from the Cardinals during voluntary workouts earlier this offseason. It's unclear if Brissett is giving up on his quest for more money or if he'll "hold in" during minicamp and training camp in an effort to squeeze some guaranteed money out of Arizona. The veteran quarterback is in the final year of a two-year deal and is set to collect a $4.88 million salary for 2026 as his contract currently stands. |

Jacoby Brissett Jacoby Brissett Expected to report to minicamp
Sun, Jun 7, 2026, 11:01 PM
Brissett is expected to report to the Cardinals' minicamp this week, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Brissett has been away from the team as he's been holding out to get an increase in pay for the 2026 campaign, but the quarterback will at least be in attendance this week. It's unclear how much he'll participate, but his arrival is still a notable development. Brissett is coming off of a 2025 campaign during which he completed 65 percent of his passes for 3,366 yards and 23 touchdowns while throwing eight interceptions over 14 contests with Arizona. |

Practicing during OTAs
Fri, Jun 5, 2026, 6:20 PM
Murphy-Bunting (knee) has been participating during Cardinals OTAs and has been working as a nickel corner, Zach Gershman of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Murphy-Bunting tore his ACL and also suffered some MCL damage last May and missed all of the 2025 season. Just over a year later, the veteran defender is back on the field during OTAs, and he's been taking on a different role in the nickel-corner spot. Murphy-Bunting has played mostly outside corner during his tenure in Arizona, but the team has a need in the slot with Garrett Williams expected to be out at the beginning of the campaign while recovering from a torn Achilles. Williams will presumably retake the role upon his return, but in the meantime, Murphy-Bunting should see plenty or work in the slot. He was ample experience there, having played the position frequently earlier in his career while with the Buccaneers. |

Gets signed by Cards
Thu, Jun 4, 2026, 8:52 PM
Arizona signed Oliver (knee) on Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Oliver is now joining his fourth different team since he was selected by Atlanta in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Veteran Budda Baker, Andrew Wingard and 2024 fourth-rounder Dadrion Taylor-Demerson all project to make contributions at safety for Arizona in 2026, but the team was relatively thin at that position otherwise before adding Oliver. |

Chad Ryland Chad Ryland Fellow kicker let go
Thu, Jun 4, 2026, 4:08 PM
Ryland is the only kicker on the Cardinals' roster after Joshua Karty was waived Thursday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Ryland was the Cardinals' kicker for all 17 games last season en route to making 25 of 33 field-goal attempts and all 36 of his extra-point tries. Karty was claimed off waivers from the Rams late last season, but he wasn't made active by Arizona down the stretch. In any case, Thursday's move eliminates what could have been a job battle this summer, with Ryland's fantasy upside in 2026 linked to how well the team's offense clicks with veteran signal-caller Jacoby Brissett at the helm. |

James Conner James Conner Limited at OTAs
Thu, Jun 4, 2026, 12:19 PM
Conner (foot) has mostly been limited to side work with trainers during OTA practices, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis: Coming off a season-ending foot and ankle injury in Week 3 last year, Conner accepted a pay cut this March, shortly before Arizona signed RB Tyler Allgeier. The Cardinals later drafted RB Jeremiyah Love, potentially leaving Conner as the No. 3 back after a half-decade stint as the team's starter. Trade rumors shouldn't be ignored, but Conner's presence at voluntary workouts is a clear sign he hasn't shut the door on Arizona. |

Marvin Harrison Jr. Marvin Harrison Still working back to full health
Wed, Jun 3, 2026, 11:01 AM
Harrison said Tuesday that he is not yet 100 percent recovered from the injuries he dealt with in 2025 but that he doesn't "think it's going to linger into next season, for sure," Josh Weinfuss of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Harrison dealt with a number of health issues in 2025, including two heel injuries, a concussion and appendicitis, missing a total of five games spread across the course of the regular season. While the 23-year-old said getting back to full health is "an ongoing process still," he also confirmed that "it's nothing that prevents me from doing anything at the moment" during OTAs. Harrison also stated that health will be his priority this offseason, though a number of other factors will demand his attention as he works to manifest a potential Year 3 leap. In addition to learning a new offense under head coach Mike LaFleur, who per Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic said Tuesday that Harrison's role will be as the team's X-receiver in 2026 , the 2024 first-round pick will need to build chemistry with a trio of QBs in Jacoby Brissett (holding out), Gardner Minshew and rookie third-rounder Carson Beck with Kyler Murray having moved on. |

Jacoby Brissett Jacoby Brissett Remains away from team
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 7:46 PM
Brissett was not present for the first day of the final week of Arizona's voluntary OTAs on Monday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Brissett continues to hold out as he seeks a reworked contract for 2026. He's yet to show up at Arizona's OTAs, though the sessions so far have been voluntary. However, the Cardinals begin mandatory minicamp next Monday, so the situation could escalate if Brissett remains absent then (assuming he hasn't gotten the new deal he desires). |

Jacoby Brissett Jacoby Brissett Still not present for OTAs
Tue, May 26, 2026, 10:22 PM
Brissett didn't report to Arizona's OTAs on Tuesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Brissett remained away from the team after already missing all of last week, which was the first week of the Cardinals' OTAs. The veteran quarterback is holding out in the hope of securing a restructured contract, as his current deal is worth a maximum of only $5.39 million, with just $1.5 million guaranteed. Per Weinfuss, Arizona has informed Brissett that he is the team's starting quarterback, though he'll obviously need to eventually join the team in order to accept that role. |

Marvin Harrison Jr. Marvin Harrison Healthy for offseason program
Fri, May 22, 2026, 6:41 PM
Harrison (foot) participated at Cardinals OTAs this week.
Analysis: Harrison sat out Arizona's regular-season finale due to a foot issue that he suffered one week prior, which capped an injury-plagued second pro campaign that contained him to three appearances over the final eight games. Overall, the fourth overall pick in the 2024 Draft followed up a 62-885-8 line on 116 targets in 17 contests as a rookie by hauling in 41 of 73 passes for 608 yards and four TDs in 12 outings last year. With Kyler Murray getting released in March, Harrison will be working with one of the following QBs this fall: Jacoby Brissett (holding out for a reworked contract), newcomer Gardner Minshew or 2026 third-rounder Carson Beck. |

Jacoby Brissett Jacoby Brissett Still far from new deal
Fri, May 22, 2026, 6:23 PM
The Cardinals and Brissett haven't made inroads on an amended contract, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: According to Weinfuss, the two sides are "significantly" far apart on a new deal, and Brissett will continue to stay away from Arizona's offseason program without one, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. Brissett is seeking an increase in the $1.5 million in guarantees on his current contract for 2026, which likely was spurred by the combination of his output from his 12 starts last season (3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions on 65.1 percent passing), the fact offseason signing Gardner Minshew has $5.14 million in guaranteed money for the upcoming campaign, and the Cardinals drafting Carson Beck in the third round of this year's draft. The situation could gain clarity as the team draws closer to mandatory minicamp (June 8-10), as Brissett's continued absence then would be subject to fines. |
