Cardinals Place Josh Sweat, Paris Johnson on PUP List
Jul 24, 2026
Cardinals start camp with four on PUP
Arizona kicked off training camp by placing four players on the physically unable to perform list on Day 1, headlined by pass rusher Josh Sweat and offensive lineman Paris Johnson. It's the first move of the Cardinals' camp, and it lands on two spots that matter — the pass rush and the offensive line.
What it means for your survivor pick
A PUP designation at the start of camp isn't a season-ender, but it's a flag worth noting when you're deciding who to pick this week. Sweat and Johnson are exactly the kind of players whose availability shapes whether the Cardinals are a team you'd back — or fade — early in the year. Until there's clarity on their timelines and how quickly they're activated, treat Arizona as an unsettled situation rather than a lock in either direction. If your survivor board leans on the Cardinals in the opening weeks, hold off until camp reports confirm these guys are practicing and ready. If you're still setting up your league, you can start a free survivor pool and track these situations as they develop.
No game data is in yet, so let the depth chart settle before committing a pick tied to Arizona.
