The Arizona Cardinals are about to get some help on defense. Safety Kitan Crawford officially got his practice window opened on Wednesday, designated for return from injured reserve.
Crawford’s Return: A Race Against the Clock
This is big for the 2025 seventh-round pick, who’s been sidelined since he hurt his ankle in the season opener. Before that injury, he had snagged three tackles. We’ve seen him contribute too, with 20 tackles in 15 appearances during his rookie year. Now, he’s got 21 days to practice with the team and show he’s ready before they have to activate him to the main roster. They can pull the trigger any time in that window, though.
Bowman Joins the Roster: His First Real Shot?
And it wasn’t just Crawford making news. The Cardinals also brought tight end Shawn Bowman onto their 53-man roster, pulling him up from the practice squad. Bowman’s been bouncing around a bit, even spending some time with the Jaguars. But here’s the kicker: he hasn’t actually hit the field for a regular season game yet. This move could finally be his shot.
So, for Crawford, it’s a race against the clock to prove he’s back to full strength and ready to contribute to that Cardinals defense. And for Bowman, this is his golden opportunity to make his mark and finally get some regular season action. Lots to watch with these two over the next few weeks down in Arizona.
