The official NFL transaction is all that matters. A press release can say what ever it wants. It can say Kyler is 6'3", but it won't change that he's 5'9". I posted the transactions above.

Teams can only designate for return a maximum of 2 players when the initial 53 man roster is set. Those two players don't count against the initial 53 man roster. Those players for the Cardinals were Christian Jones and Hayden Conner.

After the initial cut down any player placed on IR must wait 4 games before they can be designated for return. Once they are designated for return they have a 21 day window during which they may practice but are still not counted on the active roster. If they are not activated to the roster within that 21 day window they will be stuck on IR for the rest of the season.

Justin Jones is on the regular IR. After week 4 he can be designated for return which starts the 21 day clock.

18. Arizona Cardinals​

Chances to make the playoffs: 38.1%
Chances to win division: 16.1%
Projected wins: 8.3
Strength of schedule: Fifth easiest (tie)
2024 record: 8-9

Biggest strength: The defensive front. The Cardinals invested heavily in rebuilding their defensive line and edge rushers, signing pass rusher Josh Sweat and linemen Dalvin Tomlinson and Calais Campbell, and drafting edge rusher Jordan Burch. It has led to the Cardinals having their best and deepest defensive front in some time. But if that front can't get to the quarterback and regularly stop the run, all the work general manager Monti Ossenfort put in and all the money he spent will have gone for naught. -- Josh Weinfuss

Biggest concern: Will Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Jr. be on the same page in 2025? Last season, Murray completed 54.4% of his throws to Harrison, but there were noticeable miscommunications. All offseason, coach Jonathan Gannon and offensive coordinator Drew Petzing have talked about how reps together will improve their continuity on the field and help that quarterback-receiver relationship. How goes the Murray-Harrison connection, so goes the offense. -- Weinfuss

QB stat to know: Murray continues to have success on the ground. Since 2023, 73 NFL players have 100-plus rush attempts; Murray leads them all with 7.5 yards per rush. -- ESPN Research
How to win your fantasy league: Harrison. Bet on the talent with the wide receiver in his second pro season. In 2024, Harrison caught eight touchdowns, and his 17 end zone targets ranked third in the league. With a more versatile route tree, one that leans away from the heavy vertical aspect, Harrison can post steady WR2 numbers. -- Bowen

Bold prediction for 2025: Nickel corner Garrett Williams will lead all slot defenders in yards per coverage snap allowed. He wasn't that far off last year. His 0.7 yards per coverage snap in 2024, per NFL Next Gen Stats, ranked second behind only Derwin James Jr. at 0.5. -- Walder

It’s interesting….

I think everyone believed one or two of those 3 would not make the team and at the same time concluded that Jones was definitely not good enough to make the team. Well, jones is on the 53 in Chicago, so these guys must have some kind of value - and that is with SMB and Thomas out for the year, who both should be ahead of these three

The biggest concern is a weak one IMHO. I'm more concerned about Kyler stand tallish in the pocket and waiting for things to develop. I'm not worried about the Kyler -> MHJ connection rate.

They had a 54.5% rate last year. Not good and needs to get better. For context, Justin Jefferson was 66.8% and Chase was a WR high of 75.6%.

MHJ had 62 receptions on 116 targets. If he bring down 5 of the contested catches he should have had, plus a few better throws by Kyler, he is right there with Jefferson. Better routes for MHJ and timing work with Kyler should get him in the mid 60s easily. And if it doesn't, then MHJ is a bust IMHO based on where we draft him.

Strong disagreement here. I have very little faith in the Cardinals pass offense and none of it has to do with MHJ.

That is the exact point I'm making, so I'm not sure why you're disagreeing. Kyler needs to step up in the pocket and be a better passer. Kyler -> MHJ isn't the the biggest concern as the OPs article stated. Kyler’s ability to become a better passer is and the passing offense as a whole will struggle if Kyler can't.

You can only dump if off thr McBride/Conner so much.
