The Arizona Cardinals have officially trimmed their roster down to 53 players.
All 32 NFL teams were required to do so before 1:00 PM MST today with the regular season set to begin next week.
There were a few surprise cuts made earlier this morning - notably in Darren Hall and Simi Fehoko - both of whom made our final projections.
There's bound to be plenty of movement moving into the immediate future with roster proceedings - though here's what Arizona's initial 53 looks like:
No surprises here, especially after the team officially released Clayton Tune earlier in the week. He could land back with the Cardinals in their practice squad if he clears waivers.
Knight earns the fourth and final spot here after an impressive preseason, beating out notable veteran names such as DeeJay Dallas and Michael Carter.
Fehoko was widely expected to make the roster after proving to be a multi-faceted guy - though the Cardinals had other ideas.
Business as usual in the TE room. Nothing to see here.
OL - Paris Johnson, Evan Brown, Hjalte Froholdt, Isaiah Adams, Jonah Williams, Kelvin Beachum, Jon Gaines, Josh Fryar, Will Hernandez
Will Hernandez emerges from PUP and can now officially practice with the team.
Some had hoped the UDFA in Elijah Simmons would have landed here, though Mustipher squeezes in over him.
Walter Nolen and Bilal Nichols land on the PUP list.
BJ Ojulari starts the year on PUP, which will make this room interesting if/when he is able to return.
The Cardinals opt to keep four instead of three here last year - perhaps a sign of their concern for the starting job next to Mack Wilson?
Six corners for the Cardinals, and the team values something in each one.
Kitan Crawford earns the nod over Darren Hall - who was a safety/corner hybrid.
In a bit of a surprise, Aaron Brewer was released - though Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com believes it was merely done for procedural purposes.
