Nichols (neck) was moved to the reserve/PUP list by the the Cardinals on Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official website reports.

Nichols has been been sidelined since the beginning of training camp while nursing a neck injury. Nichols will now be forced to miss at least the first four games of the 2025 campaign, and in his absence, Dante Stills is a candidate to see an increased workload on the defensive line.

Ojulari (knee) was moved to the reserve/PUP list by the Cardinals on Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official website reports.

Ojulari has been working his way back from a torn ACL that he suffered in training camp in 2024, and he will now be forced to miss at least four games to open the 2025 season. In his absence, Baron Browning will operate as the primary backup option behind Zaven Collins at strongside linebacker.

Nolen (calf) was moved to the reserve/PUP list by the Cardinals on Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official website reports.

Nolen has been sidelined since late July with a calf injury, and he will now be forced to miss at least four games to open the season while on the PUP list. The defensive tackle was selected in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft in April, and once healthy, he'll compete for a starting role on the Cardinals' defensive line.

Green was waived by the Cardinals on Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official website reports.

Green signed with Arizona as an undrafted free agent in April, reeling in one reception for four yards while appearing in one preseason game with the team. The wide receiver will now be placed on waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, he'll look to latch on with a team's practice squad ahead of the 2025 season.

Palmer was waived by the Cardinals on Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official website reports.

Palmer signed a reserve/future contract with Arizona in January, reeling in three catches for 18 yards over two preseason contests with the team. The wide receiver spent the 2024 season with the Cardinals' practice squad, and he may do the same in 2025.

Deguara was released by the Cardinals on Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official website reports.

Deguara will hit the open market after he compiled four catches for 48 yards over Arizona's three preseason contests. The tight end played in 15 regular-season games with the Jaguars in 2024, but he may have to settle for a practice squad spot with a new team ahead of the 2025 campaign.

Dallas was released by the Cardinals on Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official website reports.

Dallas appeared in all three preseason games with Arizona, turning seven carries into 13 rushing yards and two catches into 11 yards through the air. The running back also compiled 129 yards on five kick returns, which is something he specialized in with Arizona in 2024, recording 459 yards and a score on kick returns over 17 regular-season games. Dallas will likely find a new team in the near future.

Prieskorn was waived by Denver on Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official website reports.

Prieskorn signed a contract with the Broncos this offseason as an undrafted free agent rookie, however, he fell short of making the 53-man roster for the 2025 campaign. The 25-year-old Ole Miss product caught his only target this preseason for a seven-yard touchdown. Prieskorn will now seek his next opportunity elsewhere ahead of the 2025 season.

Oliver (hamstring) was placed on the reserve/PUP list by the Packers on Tuesday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official website reports.

Oliver will be forced to miss at least four games to open the 2025 season as he continues to nurse a hamstring injury. The 22-year-old was expected to operate as a depth option on defense in his rookie campaign, so his early absence doesn't carry a significant impact.

The Bills signed Franklin on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Franklin lands on his feet quickly after he was released by the Broncos earlier Tuesday. The veteran safety appeared in 74 regular-season contests in Carolina over the previous five seasons. He recorded 105 tackles (74 solo), including 1.0 sacks, five pass breakups, including one interception, and one forced fumble in that span. Franklin will handle reserve safety duties while contributing on special teams in Buffalo.
