Arizona Cardinals Finalize Initial 53-Man Roster

The Arizona Cardinals have begun the process of finalizing their 53-man roster for the 2024 season, making initial cuts by releasing six players to reduce their roster from 91 to 85. Wide receiver Zay Jones is expected to be suspended for the first five games, which will not count against the roster. Head coach Jonathan Gannon acknowledged the urgency of the situation as the team prepares for the upcoming season, noting the importance of defining roles within the team. Among the cuts were players with varying degrees of experience, including some who have previously been with other NFL teams. The Cardinals still need to make additional cuts ahead of the final deadline, with ongoing adjustments likely as they navigate their roster. The team now has the weekend off before facing the Buffalo Bills in Week 1.
