Williams’ preseason performance proved his growth, earning him a roster spot despite the team only planning for four safeties. LaFleur also reminded players there are no “redshirt years” in the NFL — you earn your place every day. The Cardinals didn’t add any safeties to their practice squad, leaving three spots open — could another safety sneak in?
