Cardinals reorganize cornerbacks ahead of training camp

Summary

The Arizona Cardinals are restructuring their cornerback lineup during organized team activities. Will Johnson appears set to take one starting spot, while Denzel Burke and Max Melton compete for the second. Sean Murphy-Bunting has moved to a nickel position due to Garrett Williams' recovery from a torn Achilles. Murphy-Bunting, who previously played primarily as an outside cornerback, now trains with the safeties. The Cardinals also released kicker Joshua Karty, solidifying Chad Ryland as the new kicker. Rookies are being introduced gradually, with Isaiah Adams performing well at right guard ahead of Chase Bisontis.
