The Arizona Cardinals announced a pair of roster moves on Tuesday, both dealing with punters. They were awarded a waiver claim on punter Ryan Winslow, who was cut by the Green Bay Packers.
To make room for Winslow, they released Tyler Newsome, who had impressed in the offseason and training camp.
Winslow used to play for the Cardinals. He played two games for Arizona back in 2019 when Andy Lee was injured.
He averaged 44.2 yards on his six punts for the Cardinals. Two were downed inside the 20.
Winslow will get some work in the Cardinals’ two remaining preseason games and, while he likely will not make the team, if he is brought back to the practice squad, they will have a punter they know and trust if they need him.
And if he doesn’t land with another team during the season, he potentially could be the Cardinals’ punter in 2022 if Andy Lee decides to retire.
