TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals have released outside linebacker Cody Brown, a second-round draft pick out of Connecticut a year ago.
Meanwhile, coach Ken Whisenhunt says he has told rookie quarterbacks Max Hall and John Skelton they have made Arizona’s 53-man roster. The fate of Matt Leinart remained uncertain. Whisenhunt says he met with the former Heisman Trophy winner on Friday and told him the team was not yet prepared to take any action regarding him.
Whisenhunt has not named a starting quarterback but all signs point to Derek Anderson, with Arizona reportedly trying to trade Leinart. If no deal is made, the Cardinals could release the former Southern California star, the 10th-overall draft pick in 2006.
Brown was one of 16 players cut by Arizona on Friday.
