Cardinals Activate BJ Ojulari From PUP Ahead of 49ers Game
Arizona turns to the 2023 second-rounder to bolster a thin pass rush after a year-long knee rehab.
Overview
- The team moved the edge rusher to the active roster Saturday, ending his reserve/physically unable to perform designation.
- Ojulari was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, and if he plays Sunday his workload is expected to be modest.
- The 23-year-old is returning from a complex knee injury that included an ACL tear, additional ligament damage and lateral meniscus issues, plus a June procedure for a kneecap subluxation.
- The depth boost comes with Baron Browning ruled out by a concussion and a pass rush that ranks in the league’s bottom 10 in sacks and quarterback hits.
- Arizona placed linebacker Mack Wilson on injured reserve with a rib injury and promoted Jared Bartlett, while elevating cornerback Darren Hall and tight end Pharaoh Brown from the practice squad.
