Cardinals Activate BJ Ojulari From PUP to Make Week 11 Debut vs. 49ers

Arizona fills a pass-rush void by activating the 2023 second-rounder after a yearlong knee recovery.

Overview

  • The Cardinals formally activated edge rusher BJ Ojulari on Saturday, clearing him to play Sunday against San Francisco.
  • Linebacker Mack Wilson went on injured reserve with a rib injury, ruling him out at least four games with the earliest return in Week 15 at Houston.
  • Ojulari’s rehab followed a torn ACL, MCL and lateral meniscus in August 2024 plus a June arthroscopic procedure for a kneecap subluxation.
  • He practiced on a limited basis during his 21-day return window and is expected to have a managed snap count in his first game of 2025.
  • Arizona also signed linebacker Jared Bartlett to the 53-man roster and elevated cornerback Darren Hall and tight end Pharaoh Brown, as Baron Browning is out with a concussion and Josh Sweat has a knee issue.
