Cardinals activate Zach Carter and Hunter Long from injured reserve

The Cardinals have designated defensive lineman Zach Carter and tight end Hunter Long to return from injured reserve, as announced on November 11, 2026. Both players are set to practice with the team, with a potential activation to the roster within 21 days. Carter suffered a knee injury during the Hall of Fame Game, while Long was sidelined after injury in Week 4 against the Giants. Carter's return may be particularly timely given Roy Lopez's ongoing toe injury, and Long's absence led to Teagan Quitoriano's promotion to fill his role in the offense. The team also signed offensive lineman Jamaree Salyer to the practice squad.
