Stills (heel) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Stills popped up on Thursday's injury report due to a heel issue and was labelled as questionable Friday. He did enough over the weekend to be cleared to play Sunday, when he'll work in a rotational role at defensive end alongside Jordan Burch, and starters Josh Sweat and Darius Robinson. Stills started in 10 of 16 regular-season games for the Cardinals in 2024 and finished with 42 tackles (20 solo), including 4.5 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble.

Rotowire
Stills finished the 2024 season with 42 total tackles (20 solo), including 4.5 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed and a forced fumble over 16 games.
Still took a slight step up in 2024 in terms of his sack production, adding an extra sack compared to his rookie campaign in 2023. The defensive lineman could step into a starting role in 2025 with current starting defensive end L.J. Collier entering the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

Cardinals' Dante Stills: Logs sack in win
Rotowire
Stills recorded four total tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, and defended one pass in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Dolphins.
The second-year pro from West Virginia saw increased opportunities as an edge rusher in Week 8 with both Darius Robinson (calf) and Dennis Gardeck (knee) sidelined, and he made the most of his chances. Stills was the only Cardinal to bring down Tua Tagovailoa in Sunday's win, notching his second sack in as many weeks. Even with Robinson potentially returning from injury for Week 9's matchup against the Bears, expect Stills to continue serving as one of the Cardinals' top edge rushers.
