The Arizona Cardinals, along with the rest of the NFL, must trim their rosters to 53 players by Tuesday afternoon. One thing that will factor into decisions will be injuries to players. Two reserves are commonly used for injured players and have different functions. There is the PUP (physically unable to perform) reserve and also injured reserve.

They waived receiver Kelly Akharaiyi, whom they signed just last week. He did not get into the Cardinals' 27-7 preseason loss to the Denver Broncos on Wednesday. The Cardinals brought in a pair of interior offensive linemen for tryouts, which is probably related to the knee injury to rookie guard Hayden Conner.
