The Arizona Cardinals must release five more players from their offseason roster to get to 80 players by Tuesday afternoon. They did not announce their cuts Monday, so that announcement is forthcoming.
However, we know who one of the player cuts will be.
According to multiple reports, undrafted rookie running back T.J. Pledger will be released.
Pledger had done pretty well in the offseason. When head coach Kliff Kingsbury has spoken of the running back room, he recently said that there were six players who could make the team. Pledger was one of the six running backs.
In the Cardinals’ 24-17 preseason loss to the Baltimore Ravens, he did not gain any rushing yards but did have a 14-yard reception.
