Ahead of their Week 3 matchup against the Detroit Lions, Arizona also released Marquis Hayes from their practice squad. Hayes, a seventh-round pick by Arizona in the 2022 NFL Draft, has been in and out of the organization since being drafted. The 25-year-old appeared in preseason games for the Cardinals in both 2023 and 2024. During his time at Oklahoma, Hayes was a consistent starter and earned second-team All-Big 12 honors in 2021.
