  "account": "The Arizona Cardinals have begun to cut players to reach the 53-man roster limit, with offensive lineman Christian Jones being the first reported casualty, per Mike Garafolo. Drafted in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL draft out of Texas, Jones has only appeared in four games across two seasons due to injuries. He started in the final regular-season game of 2024 but has not played a snap since last season. Jones logged just 14 total snaps on special teams over his two NFL stints. Not a veteran yet, he must clear waivers before he can join another team. If he succeeds, he might sign with a practice squad. The Cardinals' starting tackles are Paris Johnson and Elijah Wilkinson, while Josh Fryar and rookie Jayden Williams are likely to retain their spots, leaving Jones and Demontrey Jacobs as the few who may be cut.",
