Arizona Cardinals put together questionable 53
By Scott Allen
Defense/Special Teams
Defensive line (9): Markus Golden, Benson Mayowa, Vontarrius Dora, Chandler Jones, Jacquies Smith, Corey Peters, Rodney Gunter, Robert Nkemdiche, Olsen Pierre. Nkemdiche should be thanking his lucky stars. As for Dora, very happy he made it after an impressive preseason. Cut were Siupeli Anau, Cap Capi, Owen Obasuyi, Tani Topou, Pasoni Tasini, and Nigel Williams.
Linebackers (5): Haason Reddick, Dennis Gardeck, Josh Bynes, Deone Bucannon, Gerald Hodges. Cut were Edmond Robinson, Scooby Wright III, Matthew Oplinger, and Airius Moore.
Cornerbacks (5): Patrick Peterson, Deatrick Nichols, Jamar Taylor, Bene Benwikere, Brandon Williams. Cuts included Tim Scott, Tavierre Thomas, Jonathan Moxie and a bit of a surprise with rookie draft pick Chris Campbell. Williams keeping his job is interesting. Hopefully they let him stick to special teams.
Safety (6): Antoine Bethea, Budda Baker, Rudy Ford, Tre Boston, A.J. Howard, Zeke Turner. Glad to see Howard make the roster, he had a nice preseason. Cuts are Trevell Dixon and Harlan Miller.
Kicker (1): Phil Dawson
Punter (1): Andy Lee
Long snapper (1): Aaron Brewer
Five undrafted rookies made the team. This is what it looks like initially anyway. A few of these guys that made the roster today could be gone in the next couple of days. The waiver wire looks interesting in many positions across the league.
