On Friday, the Arizona Cardinals made a roster adjustment ahead of their final practice before an off day. The team placed cornerback Jaden Davis on injured reserve and signed cornerback Quinton Newsome to fill the vacancy.
Davis, a seventh-round draft pick in 2024, spent nearly two seasons on the practice squad before being elevated to the 53-man roster. He appeared in three games last season, but his current campaign is now over unless he is released later with an injury settlement.
Newsome, who stands six feet tall and weighs 185 pounds, had a tryout with the Cardinals earlier in the week. He most recently played for the Houston Gamblers in the UFL and entered the league as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2024, signing with the Denver Broncos out of Nebraska. He spent parts of the last two seasons with the Broncos.
Key Analysis
Newsome is likely to serve as a practice squad or depth player, potentially seeing action in the Hall of Fame Game next week if he quickly grasps the defensive scheme. The Cardinals' decision to add Newsome provides additional competition and insurance in the secondary, while Davis's injury leaves a gap that the team hopes to address with fresh talent.
