More roster moves are sure to come, but this is the current 53-man roster the Cardinals start with in 2025.
The Arizona Cardinals have made the requisite moves to get the roster to 53 players. They cut a bunch, put a few on injured reserve and had three bypass the active roster by moving from the offseason PUP list to the PUP reserve.
They currently don’t have a long snapper on the roster and they have 11 defensive backs.
But the roster is at 53 players.
More roster moves are assuredly coming, with likely another player going on IR and perhaps a trade, waiver claims or free agent signings, but here we can see that this is what the first 53-man roster looks like for the Cardinals.
