Players such as Hall and Fehoko were surprise roster cuts after having respective impressive preseasons.

However, the Cardinals' roster is anything but settled at this point in time. Expect a flurry of roster moves between now and Week 1.

"Made some decisions here on the roster. Practice squad's kind of getting done here in the next couple days. Toughest part about the business, obviously, you know, because a lot of guys put a lot of work into it and we like all these guys," Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon told reporters.

"But just unfortunately, can't keep everybody - so we try to do the best we can with the 53 and then with the practice squad. A lot of moving parts. I would say this: The roster, just like all 32 teams, is very fluid, especially the first week or two. So it's probably not going to look like the same as it does right now in a couple days, or even going into week one.

"Appreciate all those guys and some tough conversations, but feel good about where we're at right now."

Arizona didn't claim anybody off waivers, though cornerback Jaylon Jones did return to the Chicago Bears - you can read more about that here.
