Cardinals' Karson Sharar: Dealing with hamstring issue
Rotowire
Sharar did not participate during OTAs due to a hamstring injury, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Coach Mike LaFleur said Wednesday that Sharar will be ready to go for training camp in July, so it doesn't seem to be a serious concern at this point. As the Cardinals' minicamp wraps up, rookie undrafted free agent Stephen Dix could see an uptick in practice reps during Sharar's absence.

Cardinals' Karson Sharar: Joins Cardinals
Rotowire
The Cardinals selected Sharar in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 183rd overall.
Sharar finally won a starting job at weakside linebacker in his fifth year at Iowa, recording 83 tackles, 12.0 tackles for loss and 4.0 sacks through 13 games. The 23-year-old has average size (6-foot-2, 231 pounds) but features impressive athleticism (4.56 40-yard dash, 40-inch vertical, 123-inch broad jump). Sharar probably won't be in the starting mix as a rookie because he still lacks experience, but he can contribute on special teams while developing his skills.
