AZ Cardinals Recap and News

The Cardinals placed Keys (undisclosed) on injured reserve Saturday.

Keys likely sustained the injury in Thursday’s preseason win over the Raiders. The linebacker was on the roster bubble, and the move to IR ends his bid to make the team. Keys will now spend the entirety of the 2026 regular season on IR unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

The Cardinals signed Stewart to a contract Saturday.

Stewart spent the 2025 season as a free agent after being waived by the Vikings in late August. The running back has yet to start in a regular-season game, but may see some preseason action due to a banged-up Cardinals corps. Jeremiyah Love (ankle), James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson (knee) are all dealing with injuries, meaning Stewart could see a few snaps in next Saturday’s preseason showdown with the Cowboys.

The Cardinals signed Cupp to a contract Saturday.

Cupp is a third-year undrafted free agent out of Texas Tech. The tight end played in one career regular-season game for the Chiefs in 2024, totalling 10 snaps and one target for zero catches. The 26-year-old was likely signed to replace Jameson Geers (undisclosed), who was just placed on season-ending injured reserve.

The Cardinals placed Geers (undisclosed) on injured reserve Saturday.

Geers likely sustained an injury during Thursday’s preseason win over the Raiders. The tight end was fighting a losing battle to make the 53-man roster, and the injury brings an end to that bid. Geers will spend the entirety of the 2026 regular season on injured reserve unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

The Cardinals placed Bisontis (knee) on injured reserve Saturday.

Bisontis suffered a season-ending MCL tear during Thursday’s preseason win over the Raiders. The rookie second-round pick was close to overtaking Isaiah Adams for the starting right guard position on the Cardinals’ offensive line. Now the 22-year-old will need to wait until 2027 for a shot at regular-season NFL action.
