Xavier Thomas: Cut by Arizona
The Cardinals waived Xavier Thomas on Friday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.Thomas played in four games this season, never for more than 13 percent of the Cardinals' defensive snaps. The cut most likely comes due to the return to practice of Baron Browning and the presence of BJ Ojulari on the roster.

Cardinals' Xavier Thomas: Headed to desert
The Arizona Cardinals selected Xavier Thomas in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 138th overall.Thomas was a top recruit and ultimately landed with Clemson, where he impressively found the field regularly as a freshman. However, he had sporadic production from there due to injury and a serious bout with COVID-19, which explains his dip into the later rounds of the draft. Thomas will head into the pros with a wide range of outcomes, but he could become part of the Cardinals' rotation along the defensive line behind the likes of Zaven Collins and BJ Ojulari.
