The Arizona Cardinals didn’t waste much time on defensive end Robert Nkemdiche.
The Cardinals cut Nkemdiche on Saturday night, just one day after new head coach Kliff Kingsbury called out the former first-round pick for showing up to training camp out of shape.
“Not in shape, I guess,” Kingsbury said Friday, via ESPN. “And that’s kind of where we’ll leave it. I mean, he’s on PUP and he’s working through that. When he is cleared, we’ll work with him.”
The former Ole Miss standout has played in just 27 games for the Cardinals over three seasons. He recorded 32 tackles and 4.5 sacks in 10 games last season, though tore his ACL in December.
The 24-year-old was arrested in June, too, for speeding and driving with a suspended license. He was then pulled over twice in the same week later that month for traffic-related offenses.
