The Cardinals waived Sanders (thumb) from injured reserve Tuesday.
Sanders spent the first six weeks of the season on injured reserve but just had his practice window opened last week, suggesting he's now healthy. The 2022 third-round pick simply doesn't seem to be a fit under first-year coach Jonathan Gannon.

The Cardinals selected Sanders in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 100th overall.
Sanders was a solid three-year starter at Cincinnati, but he was never close to dominant and his athletic traits probably aren't much better than average at 6-foot-5, 250 pounds. He projects more as a strong-side linebacker than one who truly pressures the edge consistently.
