Player News
The Cardinals released Branch on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Branch was given a shot with the Cardinals this offseason but will head back to free agency. After making just 25 tackles and 1.5 sacks in 2018 with the Dolphins, the veteran faces and uphill battle to solidify himself a roster spot with another team in the NFL.
Branch and the Cardinals agreed to a contract Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Branch was released by the Dolphins this offseason after he mustered just 25 tackles and 1.5 sacks in 2018. The veteran could certainly find himself in the mix for snaps heading into the season as he gets accustomed to his new surroundings.
Branch visited the Cardinals on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Branch was released by Miami on March 2 after struggling mightily in 2018, recording just 25 tackles and 1.5 sacks. The 29-year-old could offer Arizona an easy and effective solution to bolster their pass rush.
Branch (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
Branch began the week as a non-participant at practice but was able to progress to limited participation Thursday and Friday. The 29-year-old seems to be trending in the right direction for Sunday's season finale, but the numerous knee injuries dealt with over the course of the season keep his status up in the air for now.
