CB Garrett Williams has been activated from the PUP list https://t.co/qLLTM0s59M Via @AZCardinals on X

What happened: Williams opened training camp on active/PUP on July 23. The transaction clears him to return to team practice during the preseason.

Why it matters: Clearing PUP before final cuts avoids the four-game minimum absence attached to reserve/PUP. It also restores an experienced cornerback to Arizona's roster planning ahead of the regular season.

By the numbers: Williams has 127 tackles, two interceptions and 16 passes defensed in 35 career games, including 27 starts.

What to watch: His practice participation and preseason workload are the next markers before Week 1.
