  • CB Josh Jackson
  • Veteran OLB Devon Kennard is being released by the Cardinals, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Monday.

The nine-year veteran has also spent time with the New York Giants and Detroit Lions.

INJURIES

  • OT Ronnie Stanley (ankle) could return to practice on Tuesday, coach John Harbaugh told reporters. Harbaugh added he thinks "there's a chance" Stanley can play in Week 1. The former All-Pro tackle was activated off the physically unable to perform list after passing his physical on Friday.
