The Arizona Cardinals made a bevy of moves today, including placing rookie guard Chase Bisontis on injured reserve
Does this end Bisontis’ season… not definitely, but it is most likely if he has a grade three tear and needs surgery.
The Cardinals placed two other players on IR and brought in three additions to the roster.
From the team:
The Arizona Cardinals Football Club today announced that the team has signed tight end Baylor Cupp , defensive lineman Keveion’ta Spears (kee-vee-ON-tay) and running back Tre Stewart . The team also placed offensive lineman Chase Bisontis , tight end Jameson Geers and linebacker Austin Keys on injured reserve.
The signings took place today at the Dignity Health Arizona Cardinals Training Center in Tempe, AZ.
Cupp (6-6, 243) most recently played with the Dallas Renegades of the UFL where he appeared in nine games and recorded eight receptions for 73 yards. He entered the NFL in 2024 with Kansas City as an undrafted rookie free agent from Texas Tech and appeared in one game with the Chiefs while also spending time on the team’s practice squad. Cupp was also with the Ravens in the 2025 preseason. While in college, he appeared in 34 games (14 starts) at Texas Tech (2022-23) and Texas A&M (2019-21) and posted 23 receptions for 246 yards (10.7 avg) and four touchdowns.
Spears (6-3, 321) played last season at SMU after spending the first five seasons of his collegiate career at Memphis (2023-24) and Louisiana Tech (2020-22). During his six-year collegiate career, Spears appeared in 49 games (11 starts) and tallied 45 tackles, seven tackles for loss, 2.0 sacks and five passes defensed. In his lone season with the Mustangs in 2025, he appeared in all 13 games (two starts) and finished the season with 15 tackles (eight solo), 2.5 tackles for loss and four pass breakups which tied for the most among SMU defensive linemen.
Stewart (5-8, 186)played with the Orlando Storm of the UFL where he appeared in five games and recorded 108 rushing yards on 28 attempts (3.9 avg.) while also adding four receptions for 27 yards. He entered the NFL with Minnesota as an undrafted rookie free agent from Jacksonville State in 2025. In his four-year collegiate career at Jacksonville State (2024) and Limestone University (2021-23), Stewart played in 46 games and rushed for 4,632 yards on 700 carries (6.6 avg.) and 47 touchdowns while catching 83 passes for 833 yards (10.0 avg.) and six touchdowns..
Cupp will wear jersey #83, Spears will wear #60 and Stewart will wear #26.
Keveion’ta Spears addition is obviously to take the place of Jeremiyah Love for the week and give the Cardinals another running back to use in the preseason if anything happens to Corey Kiner.
Welcome to the desert one and all.
