Arizona Cardinals finalize 53-man roster following preseason

The Arizona Cardinals have finalized their 53-man roster following the preseason, making several notable personnel decisions. Wide receiver Simi Fehoko secured a spot on the roster after an impressive preseason performance that included four touchdowns, including two against the Green Bay Packers. To accommodate the depth at receiver, the team is carrying seven wide receivers, which resulted in the release of Ihmir Smith-Marsette and Tre Wallace.

In the running back unit, the Cardinals are carrying only three players. James Conner has been placed on injured reserve with a designation to return, meaning he will miss at least the first four weeks of the season. With Jeremiyah Love also recovering from an ankle injury, the team is relying on Tyler Allgeier and Bam Knight. The roster decisions come under the first year of head coach Mike LaFleur.
