The Arizona Cardinals have added two more players to their practice squad, signing defensive lineman Jared Harrison-Hunte and offensive lineman Vershon Lee.
The moves were announced today by the team and took place at the Dignity Health Arizona Cardinals Training Center in Tempe, AZ. Harrison-Hunte and Lee both arrive as undrafted rookie free agents from the 2025 class, each bringing a different kind of depth to Arizona’s roster.
Harrison-Hunte, listed at 6-4 and 311 pounds, was most recently with Carolina. He spent his rookie season moving between the Panthers’ practice squad and active roster after entering the NFL in 2025.
Before that, he built a long college résumé with stops at the University of Miami from 2019-23 and Southern Methodist in 2024. Over 56 games and 36 starts, he posted 120 tackles, 15.5 sacks, 29 tackles for loss, one interception, one pass defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
Lee, who checks in at 6-4 and 318 pounds, comes over from Minnesota after appearing in one game last season as a rookie. He entered the league in 2025 as an undrafted free agent out of South Carolina and spent most of the year on the Vikings’ practice squad.
In college, Lee played five seasons at South Carolina from 2020-24, appeared in 51 games with 40 starts and was named a team captain as a senior in 2024. He also started at center, right tackle and left guard during his time there.
Harrison-Hunte will wear No. 98, and Lee will wear No. 63.

Cardinals Fans Have Seen Where Greg Dortch Still Carries Real Value
Greg Dortchs next stop is taking him back to where his football journey began, with the veteran wide receiver and punt return specialist signing with the Buffalo Bills practice squad in the city where he was born. After being released by the Detroit Lions during final roster cuts, Dortch now lands in a place that also gives him a familiar face on the coaching staff and a chance to carve out a role with a team looking for answers in the return game.
For Cardinals fans, it is another reminder of why Dortch kept showing up as a useful piece in Arizona over five seasons. He never had to be a headline act to matter, and his value often came in the margins, where dependable return work and roster flexibility can swing a week. Buffalo is betting that same versatility can help solve an immediate special teams need, and if it works, it will only reinforce what Cardinals followers already know about how useful he can be.

Cardinals Roster Cuts Squeezed Out Some Veterans Fans Expected To Stay
The Cardinals first 53-man roster of the 2026 season reflected how competitive camp had been from top to bottom, with every healthy rookie surviving the cut and a handful of expected veterans left on the outside. Arizona also leaned into some deeper position battles, carrying an unusually high number of wide receivers and safeties as it sorted out the back end of the roster.
For a team trying to balance proven names against younger, cheaper options, the decisions were especially noticeable at linebacker and in the secondary. Azeez Ojulari and Marcus Murphy-Bunting were among the veterans released, while Keaontay Ingram and sixth-round rookie inside linebacker Sharar made the initial team, underscoring how much the Cardinals valued preseason performance and roster flexibility.

Cardinals Suddenly Have A Real Shot To Reshape This Roster
The roster cut deadline has given the Cardinals a quick look at the rest of the leagues discard pile, and that can matter more than it sounds in late August. Once teams trimmed down to 53 players, anyone with fewer than four credited seasons had to clear waivers before becoming available, which turns the next stretch into a brief but real opportunity for clubs still looking to add depth.
Arizona enters that process with the third priority in the waiver claim order, sitting behind only the Raiders and Jets. So while the front office waits out the waiver period, the Cardinals have a chance to see whether the leagues roster churn opens a path to an unexpected addition or two, with the official answer coming once claims are sorted out.
