The Arizona Cardinals made two waiver claims on Monday evening, bringing in running back Evan Hull and defensive tackle Cam Horsley while clearing room by waiving defensive tackle Coziah Izzard and wide receiver Tejhuan Palmer.
Hull arrives from the Houston Texans after spending time with several teams since entering the league. The Indianapolis Colts took him in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, and he has also been with the Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints.
In 2025 with New Orleans, Hull played in six games and carried the ball 19 times for 48 yards, while also catching one pass for six yards. Over his NFL career, he has played in eight games, including two appearances with Indianapolis between the 2023 and 2024 seasons.
Horsley comes to Arizona after the Tennessee Titans waived him on Sunday. He signed with Tennessee as an undrafted free agent in 2025 and saw action in one game as a rookie, taking 14 defensive snaps.
Arizona also brought in running back Jermar Jefferson for a workout on Monday.
The move for Hull fits into a larger evaluation of the Cardinals’ backfield during training camp. Trey Benson missed practice on Sunday and was listed as the team’s fourth running back on the Cardinals’ initial depth chart.
Benson has flashed explosiveness since returning to team drills, but he currently sits behind Jeremiyah Love, Tyler Allgeier, and James Conner in the rotation. Bam Knight’s special teams value also gives him a strong case if Arizona decides to keep four running backs on its 53-man roster.

Walter Nolen Faces Big Year As Cardinals Wait For Breakout
Walter Nolen entered the league with plenty of buzz when Arizona took him 16th overall in 2025, and his first season offered a little of everything except the full breakout the Cardinals were hoping to see. He appeared in six games without a start, flashed with 11 tackles, two sacks and five quarterback hits, and also had to navigate a calf injury and a meniscus tear along the way. Now healthy, he has also reshaped his body this offseason, dropping weight and saying he feels more explosive heading into a year that carries a lot more expectation.
The Cardinals have reason to believe the next step is there, especially after a minor issue in practice did not turn into anything more serious. For a defense that wants more disruption from the interior, Nolens jump matters, and the team has been open about wanting more productivity from a player drafted to be a difference-maker. The talent is obvious, the health is better, and the pressure is on for him to turn those flashes into something Arizona can count on every week. [Read more 🡒]
Cardinals Radio Booth Enters A New Era After Familiar Voice Exits
A familiar part of Cardinals game days is changing this fall, with Arizona turning to J.P. Shadrick as its new radio play-by-play voice. Shadrick brings more than two decades in sports broadcasting to the job, and his rsum includes time with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Westwood One Sports, giving the Cardinals a veteran presence as they reshape the sound of their broadcasts.
He takes over for Dave Pasch, who spent 24 years in the role before stepping down to move into a new position with ESPN. For listeners, it marks the end of one long run and the start of another, with Shadrick now tasked with building his own connection to a fan base that has grown accustomed to Paschs voice over the years.
