Arizona Cardinals hold tryouts for 2 offensive linemen
With Hayden Conner's knee injury, it appears the Cardinals are looking to add a guard or a center to the roster. The Arizona Cardinals appear likely to sign an offensive lineman on Wednesday. They released receiver Kelly Akharaiyi, opening a roster spot and held tryouts for a pair of interior linemen. According to the NFL transaction report, they had tryouts for Brady Latham and Dohnovan West. With rookie Hayden Conner suffering a knee injury in the Cardinals' preseason game on Saturday and with both starters and key backups not expected to play in the preseason finale, they likely want to make sure they have enough depth to make it through the game before final cuts. Latham is a 6-foot-5, 314-pound guard who went undrafted in 2024 out of Arkansas. He signed with the New York Jets, was cut in August and also spent time with the Cleveland Browns earlier this offseason. West is a center who played at Arizona State and went undrafted in 2022. He signed with the San Francisco 49ers after the draft and then did not make the final roster that year. We will see what the plan ends up being with the roster and these tryouts soon enough.

Arizona Cardinals cut recently signed WR ahead of final preseason game
The Arizona Cardinals made a roster move on Tuesday, although they did not announce it. It appeared on the NFL transaction report. They waived receiver Kelly Akharaiyi, whom they signed just last week. He did not get into the Cardinals' 27-7 preseason loss to the Denver Broncos on Wednesday. The Cardinals brought in a pair of interior offensive linemen for tryouts, which is probably related to the knee injury to rookie guard Hayden Conner. With the preseason finale coming, they have enough receivers who can play, as evidenced by the fact that they didn't need Akharaiyi against the Broncos. The Cardinals have roster decisions to make, as they and the rest of the NFL must cut rosters down to 53 players by Tuesday afternoon next week.

Kyle Shanahan Singled Out for San Francisco 49ers' Injury Issues
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The San Francisco 49ers were absolutely ravaged by injuries last season, which played a massive role in their disappointing 6-11. And once again this summer, the 49ers are once again experiencing medical issues. So, what is the reason behind San Francisco's inability to stay healthy? Is there a deeper problem here? More news: Raiders Shockingly Predicted to Cut Ties With New Fan Favorite Well, Matt Barrows of The Athletic identified what he feels is the reason for the Niners' constant injury problems, and he thinks it may be Kyle Shanahan's rough coaching style. Head coach Kyle Shanahan of the San Francisco 49ers stands on the sidelines prior to an NFL football game against the Los Angeles Rams, at Levi's Stadium on December 12, 2024 in Santa Clara, California.... Head coach Kyle Shanahan of the San Francisco 49ers stands on the sidelines prior to an NFL football game against the Los Angeles Rams, at Levi's Stadium on December 12, 2024 in Santa Clara, California. More"I don't think there's any question, however, that the 49ers practice harder and faster than most NFL teams, including in training camp," Barrows wrote. "... Kyle Shanahan wants his players accustomed to the speed and intensity required in the regular season. He wants players to build what he calls "a callus" during training camp. Achieving that callus comes with a cost. That, at least, is my theory on why they have so many injuries each summer — they're being pushed harder than most teams." It's important to note that Barrows isn't necessarily saying that Shanahan's strategy is a bad thing. Heck, it worked in 2023 when the 49ers made it all the way to the Super Bowl. But there is no doubt that holding such intense practices has its downsides. San Francisco had arguably the most talented roster on paper heading into 2024, but the Niners were never able to get anything going consistently last year due to so many of their top players being sidelined. More news: Colts Could Trade Anthony Richardson to Struggling AFC Opponent The 49ers also subtracted some key pieces over the past several months, so they have absolutely lost a decent chunk of their shine since last fall. Perhaps they really did miss their window two years ago. Or maybe they are on the verge of a bounceback in 2025? Regardless, San Francisco obviously needs to stay healthy in order to produce any type of revenge campaign this coming season. For more on the Raiders and NFL, head to Newsweek Sports.
