We have made the following roster moves: Placed WR Jalen Brooks IR Re-signed S Wydett Williams and OL Austin Deculus t Via @AZCardinals on X

What happened: Arizona re-signed safety Wydett Williams and offensive lineman Austin Deculus to the practice squad on Tuesday. Brooks moves to the reserve list with a wrist injury that ends his 2026 campaign.

Why it matters: The transaction costs the club a depth receiver and special teams contributor while adding practice squad coverage in the secondary and on the offensive line. Drafted 244th overall by Dallas out of South Carolina in 2023, Brooks split six games between the Cowboys and Cardinals in 2025 and recorded three tackles.

By the numbers: Arizona holds a 2-5 record and sits 14th in the conference standings after falling 30-16 to the Denver Broncos on Oct. 25.

What to watch: Arizona will look to fill the open 53-man roster spot ahead of its next contest while Williams and Deculus rejoin the practice unit.
