The Arizona Cardinals must get their roster down to 53 players by Tuesday afternoon. They announced the first cuts, trimming the roster by 10 players.
Here are their announced cuts:
- OL Shaq Calhoun
- RB Tavien Feaster
- WR KeeSean Johnson
- OL Michael Menet
- DL Cam Murray
- CB Picasso Nelson
- WR A.J. Richardson
- LB Evan Weaver
- P Ryan Winslow
- OLB Bryson Young
There is really only one surprise in this group and that is Johnson. He was consistently getting first-team reps when other starters were out and appeared to be a lock for the roster.
Menet was a draft pick this year and Weaver was last year, although Weaver did not make the 53-man roster last year, either.
With 10 cuts, the Cardinals now have 72 players, although three are currently on the COVID list. They must cut another 19 players by Tuesday’s deadline.
