One key free agent the Arizona Cardinals have not re-signed so far is offensive lineman Will Hernandez. He remains unsigned by any team and that probably has to do with the fact he is recovering from a torn ACL.
With their lack of signing a clear starting guard in free agency and not drafting anyone that we could expect would start as a rookie, it is believed that Hernandez could still be in the Cardinals' plans.
There is one sign that clearly shows they haven't closed the door.
Hernandez' No. 76 remains unassigned on the Cardinals' roster. That might not be overly significant, but their sixth-round pick, guard Hayden Conner, wore No. 76 all through his college career at Texas. He was not given No. 76. He got No. 58.
Not giving Conner or any other player No. 76 perhaps is the biggest sign that there is a decent shot at his return.
He injured his knee October 6. Perhaps we will see him come in as a late July signing right before the start of training camp, which will be a little more than nine months after his injury.
It will be something to keep an eye on.
