He played in 14 regular-season games with the Cardinals in 2023 and accumulated 46 tackles (25 solo), including 2.5 sacks, one pass defended and one fumble recovery.

Kevin Strong: Waived by Arizona
Rotowire
The Cardinals waived Strong on Friday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
This move comes as a surprise, as Strong has played well this season, recording career highs with 46 tackles (25 solo), including 2.5 sacks, over 14 games. He has dealt with a variety of injuries, including separate shoulder and knee issues that have caused him to miss time, but it's uncertain if those issues played a role in his departure. Roy Lopez could see more work Sunday in Strong's stead in the team's season finale versus Seattle.

Strong was at all three of the Cardinals' practices during the week, but he was also limited for all of them, so he seems to be truly questionable for Week 13. If he misses a second consecutive game, 2022 third-rounder Cameron Thomas could see increased reps.

Cardinals' Kevin Strong: Tabbed as questionable for Week 9
Rotowire
Strong (shoulder) has a questionable tag for Sunday's contest versus Cleveland, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Strong missed last week's loss to the Ravens but has a chance to suit up against the Browns after logging a trio of limited practices during Week 9 prep. He had been on a roll prior to getting hurt, notching 2.5 sacks over his past three games.
