TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals have reached the 53-man roster limit by waiving-injured linebacker Chris Johnson and running back Alfonso Smith.
The moves followed the release of quarterback Matt Leinart.
Johnson and Smith were undrafted rookie free agents, Johnson out of South Dakota State and Smith out of Kentucky. Johnson has an ankle injury, Smith, who scored a touchdown Thursday night in Arizona’s final preseason game, has a neck injury.
Among the undrafted rookie free agents who made the Arizona roster are wide receiver Stephen Williams from Toledo, quarterback Max Hall of BYU, wide receiver Max Komar of Idaho and cornerback Marshay Green of Mississippi.
