48 days till the Arizona Cardinals' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 48?
We are counting down to the start of the 2025 regular season for the Arizona Cardinals and are less than seven weeks away. They will open the season on the road against the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 7. That is 48 days away.
As we count down the remaining days of the offseason, let's look at who has worn that number uniform over the years for the Cardinals.
Who has worn No. 48?
Cardinals players to wear No. 48
No. 48 is currently unused. It has been a fairly non-impactful number in the Cardinals' history. The player to wear it the longest was a long snapper.
Washington had the best seasons with 13 combined interceptions in 1983-1984.

Mystics' second half starts with a familiar-looking loss to the Sparks
Brittney Sykes has a goal for the second half of the WNBA season: Eliminate those subpar quarters that plagued the Washington Mystics before the all-star break. All too often, three quarters of good play would be ruined by one in which everything got out of whack. The Mystics and their all-star guard will have to keep working on that: After a fantastic start against the Los Angeles Sparks on Tuesday night, a nine-point second quarter included seven turnovers and erased a 16-point lead. For the second game in a row — bracketing the midseason time off — the Sparks had their way offensively against the Mystics. They left CareFirst Arena with a 93-86 victory Tuesday night and combined to score 192 points in those two wins.

DC Open delight for tour veteran Venus Williams
Venus Williams has become the second-oldest woman to win a tour-level singles match in professional tennis, delivering some of her familiar big serves and groundstrokes at age 45 while beating Peyton Stearns — 22 years her junior — 6-3 6-4 at the DC Open. This was the first singles victory for Williams in nearly two years and the only older woman to win a match was Martina Navratilova at 47 in 2004. The former No.1-ranked Williams had not played singles in an official match anywhere since March 2024 in Miami, missing time while having surgery to remove uterine fibroids. She hadn't won in singles since August 2023 in Cincinnati. Until this week, she was listed by the WTA Tour as "inactive." "It is not easy," Williams said, "to (come back) after all that time and play the perfect match." She didn't come to play, she came to SLAY 🔥@Venuseswilliams | #MubadalaCitiDCOpen — wta (@WTA) July 23, 2025 But backed by a crowd that clearly was there to see, and support, her at the hardcourt tournament in the nation's capital, Williams showed glimpses of the talent she possesses and the skills she displayed while earning all of her grand slam titles: seven in singles, 14 in women's doubles — all alongside younger sister Serena — and two in mixed doubles. "I wanted to play a good match," she told the fans, then added a phrase that drew appreciative roars: "and win the match." The first cheer for Williams arrived when she walked out into the main stadium, a 7000-seat arena that's more than twice as large as where she was for her doubles victory a day earlier. Another came when she strode to the centre of the court for the formality of the coin toss. There also were moments where Williams looked as if it had been just as long as it actually has since she competed, including in the opening game, when she got broken to love. At the end, it took her a bit of extra effort to close things out. She failed to convert numerous match points but eventually powered a serve that world No.35 Stearns returned into the net. It's like she never left 😮💨@Venuseswilliams defeats Stearns 6-3, 6-4 to reach the second round in the United States capital.#MubadalaCitiDCOpen — wta (@WTA) July 23, 2025 Williams advances to a second-round match-up against fifth-seeded Pole Magdalena Frech while earlier on Tuesday, Emma Raducanu handed No.7 seed Marta Kostyuk a sixth consecutive loss, defeating her 7-6 (7-4) 6-4. This was the fifth tournament in a row where Kostyuk exited in the first round; she hasn't won a match since May 11 in Rome. The 46th-ranked Raducanu, who won the 2021 US Open, will face four-time major champion Naomi Osaka, a 6-2 7-5 winner against Yulia Putintseva, next. At the hardcourt WTA250 event in Prague meantime, Australia's Priscilla Hon was beaten 6-2 3-6 6-3 in the first round by Czech Barbora Palicova in a little over two hours.

Tyrann Mathieu retirement: Former Arizona Cardinals draft pick retires after 12 seasons
Mathieu played 12 NFL seasons, had three Pro Bowls and three All-Pro selections. A former Arizona Cardinals player who was key during their run of success in the middle of the 2010s has called it a career. Safety Tyrann Mathieu, originally drafted by the Arizona Cardinals, announced his retirement from the NFL after 12 seasons. He made the announcement on his Instragram account. As I hang up my cleats, I'm filled with gratitude as I close this chapter of my life and officially retire from the game that's shaped me in every way. From my first snap in college to my final play in the NFL, this journey has been nothing short of a blessing. Football gave me purpose, discipline, and memories that will stay with me forever. But more than anything, it gave me a community. To every coach who believed in me, every teammate who battled beside me, and every fan who showed up, cheered, and rode with me through the highs and lows, thank you. You gave me strength when I needed it most, and your love carried me farther than I ever imagined. I hope I made you proud out isn't goodbye — it's just the next chapter. Much love, always. Tyrann 💚 If you read through the comments, you will see many former Cardinals teammates — Carson Palmer, Kerwynn Williams, Rashad Johnson, Justin Bethel, Jaron Brown, Tyvon Branch, Chris Johnson, Elijhaa Penny and Frostee Rucker — had kind words. And if you're wondering why Patrick Peterson wasn't in the comments, it's because he had his own Instagram post about Mathieu's retirement. He was drafted in the third round in 2013 and made an immediate impact. He was fourth in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting but tore his left ACL near the end of his season. He played in 13 games in 2014 but was great in 2015, earning first-team All-Pro honors, picking off five passes and breaking up 17 passes. But he tore his other ACL at the end of the season. After a big contract extension before the 2016 season, he played two more seasons before the Cardinals cut him. He played seven more seasons with the Houston Texans, Kansas City Chiefs and, for the last three seasons, the New Orleans Saints. In his career, he earned three Pro Bowl selections and three first-team All-Pro selections. The Cardinals posted a congratulary message to social media with the announcement. Mathieu finishes his career with 838 total tackles, 11 sacks, 36 interceptions, four returned for touchdowns, 100 pass breakups, seven forced fumbles and eight fumble recoveries.
