Cardinals Bolster Defense with New Lineman

Summary
- Cardinals signed linebacker Bradyn Swinson to practice squad.
- Safety Mark Perry was released from the practice squad.
- Swinson was a fifth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
The Arizona Cardinals executed a practice squad adjustment on Tuesday, signing linebacker Bradyn Swinson and releasing safety Mark Perry. Swinson, an outside linebacker measuring 6-4 and weighing 255 pounds, was a fifth-round selection by the New England Patriots in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Swinson appeared in three games for the Patriots last season, recording one tackle. He played collegiately at Oregon and LSU, where he showcased his pass-rushing ability with 8.5 sacks and 13 tackles for loss in his final collegiate year. His signing may suggest an impending injury to one of the Cardinals' five current outside linebackers.
The updated 17-man practice squad now includes Swinson alongside other notable players like running backs Jerome Ford and Evan Hull, and wide receivers Shedrick Jackson and Harrison Wallace III.
