AZ Cardinals Recap and News

The Cardinals signed Bowman to a contract Sunday, Zach Gershman of the team’s official site reports.

Bowman’s roster spot opened up after fellow tight end Kenny Yeboah (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve. Bowman is a third-year undrafted free agent out of Rutgers who has yet to participate in an NFL game. Yeboah’s season-ending issue, as well as the absence of Tip Reiman (ankle), likely prompted the Cardinals’ front offense to address the preseason depth at tight end.

The Cardinals placed Blount (neck) on injured reserve Saturday.

It’s a tough blow for Blount, who injured his neck in Week 1 of last season and ended the year on IR. According to Howard Balzer of USA Today, Blount recently reinjured his neck during training camp, prompting this placement on injured reserve. He’ll need to sit out the entire 2026 campaign unless he reaches an injury settlement with Arizona at some point.

Senn (undisclosed) played 26 snaps on offense during the Cardinals‘ 33-30 loss to the Panthers in Thursday’s Hall of Fame Game.

Senn missed the entire 2025 season after being placed on injured reserve due to an undisclosed injury. He’s back with the Cardinals for training camp and is competing for a spot on the team’s 53-man roster for the 2026 campaign.

The Cardinals placed Yeboah (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday.

Yeboah injured his hamstring during the Cardinals’ 33-30 loss to the Panthers in Thursday’s Hall of Fame Game. The injury is severe enough for Yeboah to go on IR, which means he won’t be eligible to play in 2026 unless an injury settlement is reached with Arizona. Yeboah has not seen NFL regular-season action since 2024 with the Jets and was battling for a depth spot on the Cardinals’ 53-man roster prior to his season-ending injury.

Sharar (hamstring) recorded four tackles (one solo) during the Cardinals‘ 33-30 loss to the Panthers in Thursday’s Hall of Fame Game.

Sharar played 52 snaps (32 on defense, 20 on special teams) during Thursday’s exhibition game and finished tied for the fifth-most tackles on the Cardinals. The rookie sixth-rounder was dealing with a hamstring injury in the offseason that prevented him from participating in OTAs, but he has been cleared to participate in training camp practices. Sharar is battling for a rotational role at linebacker, though if he sees the field during his rookie season, most of his playing time will likely come on special teams.
