Cardinals Activate DL L.J. Collier from Injured Reserve

The Arizona Cardinals activated defensive lineman L.J. Collier from injured reserve on Wednesday, as his 21-day return-to-practice window expired. Collier, who returned to practice on December 3rd, had been sidelined since injuring his knee in a Week 2 game against the Panthers. He takes the roster spot of rookie defensive tackle Walter Nolen III, who was placed on IR this week. Collier, in his third season with the Cardinals, played all 17 games in 2024, recording 3.5 sacks, after missing most of 2023 due to injury.
