The Arizona Cardinals re-signed longtime long snapper Aaron Brewer this offseason after he healed from an injury that ended his season in 2022. However, they have added a young long snapper to the roster.
The team announced the signing of former Green Bay Packers long snappers Jack Coco. He replaces undrafted rookie long snapper Matt Hembrough. Hembrough, signed out of Oklahoma State after going undrafted, was placed on injured reserve with a back injury.
Coco, an undrafted rookie in 2022, signed with the Packers and snapped all 17 games for them last season.
The move suggests one of two things with the presence of Brewer on the roster as well.
One is that the Cardinals would like to have a younger option compete with Brewer for a true roster battle for the job.
The other is, since Brewer is coming back from an injury, the Cardinals want to limit Brewer’s2 snaps in camp and the preseason.
