The Arizona Cardinals activate edge rusher Josh Sweat from the physically unable to perform list on Monday. The move is described as a potential boost to the team’s defense and could put Sweat on track to be available for the season opener on Sept. 13.
Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur says Sweat has dealt with a knee injury throughout preseason camp. The Yahoo Sports report also notes that Sweat, 29, has been linked in reporting to dissatisfaction with the franchise after the Cardinals went 3–14 last season and fired coach Jonathan Gannon.
Other coverage confirms only the transaction itself, including that the activation is from the active/PUP list, without adding further detail on the injury or any related team context. Together, the reports present a consistent picture that Sweat’s status changes from PUP to active while his readiness remains tied to his recovery from a knee issue.
