Cardinals hold workout for four defensive backs amid injury issues

The Arizona Cardinals conducted a workout for four defensive backs on October 9, 2026, due to issues within their safety group following injuries. General Manager Monti Ossenfort's focus was to address a decline in performance after cornerback Will Johnson was lost for the season. The workout included D’Anthony Bell, Dan Jackson, Mark Perry, and Nate Valcarcel, with Perry being signed to the practice squad afterward. The need for additional depth is crucial, as the team's defensive line struggles to apply pressure on opponents, further exposing coverage deficiencies in the secondary.
