Overview
- The Arizona Cardinals announced the signing of defensive tackle Brodric Martin and placed P.J. Mustipher on injured reserve, with the team confirming the roster change on August 1.
- Martin was a 2023 third-round pick (No. 96) by the Detroit Lions who measured 6-foot-5 and 337 pounds coming out of Western Kentucky.
- Since leaving Detroit Martin has moved between teams and roster statuses, including the Chiefs’ practice squad, a brief active stint with the Steelers, and a waived-with-injury stop in Las Vegas.
- Martin has seen limited NFL game action, totaling six appearances and four tackles, so he must show consistency and versatility in training camp to secure a long-term role.
- Arizona already has veteran interior pieces such as Roy Lopez and Andrew Billings, so Martin is likely to serve as short-term depth while the Cardinals monitor Nolen’s knee and Mustipher recovers from a season-ending foot injury.
