Ahead of today's practice, Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon met with reporters and offered the following:

"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.

"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."
