Arizona Cardinals sign Bradyn Swinson to practice squad amid roster changes
Summary

The Arizona Cardinals announced the signing of linebacker Bradyn Swinson to their practice squad on October 20. Swinson, who is 6-4 and 255 pounds, was drafted by the New England Patriots in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. He played three games last season, recording one tackle. The Cardinals also released safety Mark Perry, who had been on the practice squad since earlier this month.
