The Arizona Cardinals have designated defensive lineman Zach Carter and tight end Hunter Long to return from injured reserve, according to a report from ProFootball Talk on NBC Sports. The move opens a 21-day window for both players to be activated to the 53-man roster.
Carter, a defensive lineman, and Long, a tight end, have been sidelined with injuries. Their potential return would provide depth to the Cardinals' defensive line and tight end positions as the team navigates the latter portion of the 2026 NFL season.
