Description
Surprising Roster Move: Arizona Cardinals Release Linebacker Xavier ThomasThe Arizona Cardinals made a surprising move by releasing linebacker Xavier Thomas, a second-year edge rusher, just before their Week Thirteen game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite previously expressing faith in his development, Thomas was absent from practice earlier that day, sparking speculation. The teams crowded defensive line, with players like Baron Browning, B.J. Ojulari, Josh Sweat, Zaven Collins, and Jordan Burch contributing, may have played a role in his release. Thomas had limited action this season, playing only fifteen defensive snaps, despite a strong preseason performance. The Cardinals pass rush has struggled this season, recording only twenty-two team sacks, highlighting the competitive nature of professional football and the constant evaluation teams undertake to optimize their lineup.
