The Cardinals have spent a lot of time and draft capital on the cornerback position since Monti Ossenfort and Jonathan Gannon arrived, and now creating such depth has a practical application.

Veteran Sean Murphy-Bunting was placed on the non-football injury list on Thursday, according to the official NFL transaction list as well as multiple reports. The roster move hasn't officially been announced by the team, but it is a curveball into what the secondary looks like in 2025, losing the most experience cornerback on the team. Being put on NFI now means he is out for the season.

The Cardinals open their first of two weeks of voluntary OTAs on Tuesday, with coach Jonathan Gannon scheduled to meet with the media Wednesday morning.

Last season, Murphy-Bunting's first with the team, he had three interceptions and five passes defensed in 15 games. The Cardinals did spend two draft picks on cornerbacks -- Will Johnson in the second round, Denzel Burke in the fifth round -- in April's draft, to go along with 2024 second-round pick Max Melton, 2023 third-round pick Garrett Williams, 2024 third-round pick Elijah Jones, as well as two-year starter Starling Thomas V.
