Overview

• The No. 16 pick sustained a calf injury in mid-July and was moved from active/PUP to reserve/PUP at final roster cuts, delaying his debut.
• He is eligible to return in Week 5 for Arizona’s home game against the Tennessee Titans.
• Nolen will miss the opener at the Saints plus games against the Panthers, 49ers and Seahawks.
• With the rookie sidelined, veteran additions Dalvin Tomlinson, Calais Campbell and Josh Sweat figure more prominently in early pass-rush plans.
• The move echoes last season’s delay for first-round defensive lineman Darius Robinson, who debuted in Week 13 after a calf issue.
