53 days till the Arizona Cardinals' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 53?
We are counting down to the start of the 2025 regular season for the Arizona Cardinals and are less than eight weeks away. They will open the season on the road against the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 7. That is 53 days away.
As we count down the remaining days of the offseason, let's look at who has worn that number uniform over the years for the Cardinals.
Who has worn No. 53?
Cardinals players to wear No. 53
Linebacker Vi Jones, picked up late last season, currently wears No. 53
Nunn was probably the best play to wear No. 53, but he wore several numbers in his career. As crazy as it sounds, perhaps the best No. 53 was Shipley, the center the Cardinals always tried to replace but couldn't. That's pretty cool.

Cardinals snap 3-game skid as the MLB-worst Rockies mark their 76th loss
DENVER (AP) — Willson Contreras homered drove in two runs to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a 6-2 victory over the MLB-worst Colorado Rockies on Monday night. The Cardinals ended a three-game losing streak after being swept by Arizona while the Rockies marked their 100th game with their 76th loss. Brendan Donovan and Nolan Arenado hit doubles and joined Jordan Walker with two hits apiece in a 15-hit night. Masyn Winn and Contreras had three hits each. The Rockies took a 2-0 lead in the third, but Contreras hit a solo homer and Winn doubled in Arenado to tie the game in the fourth. Contreras gave St. Louis the lead for good with an RBI single in the fifth. The Cardinals extended their lead on a single by Pedro Pagés and Donovan's sacrifice fly in the sixth. Michael McGreevy (2-1), recalled on Monday to make the start, went seven innings, giving up two runs on seven hits and no walks with one strikeout. Austin Gomber (0-4) gave up five runs on 11 hits. He struck out six. Mickey Moniak, Brenton Doyle and Adael Amador had two hits each for the Rockies. Key moment Contreras gave the Cardinals their first run with his homer, but it was his single to left in the fifth that brought in the go-ahead run. Key stat The Rockies have to go 18-44 the rest of the season to avoid tying the White Sox's modern-era record of 121 losses set last year. Up next Cardinals RHP Erick Fedde (3-9, 4.83 ERA) faces Rockies RHP Bradley Blalock (0-2, 9.97) on Tuesday night. ___ AP MLB:

2025 Arizona Cardinals training camp roster preview: P Blake Gillikin
The Arizona Cardinals report to training camp on July 22 and begin the process of preparing for the regular season, forming the roster and determining starting jobs and roles on the team. Leading up to the start of camp, we will take a look at every player on the offseason roster, their background, their contract, their play in 2024, questions they face and their roster outlook. Next up is punter Blake Gillikin. Blake Gillikin background, 2024 season Gillikin enters his sixth NFL season and third with the Cardinals. He was a rookie free agent in 2020 out of Penn State and signed with the New Orleans Saints. He spent his rookie season on injured reserve and then was their punter for the next two seasons. In 2023, he did not make the Saints' roster out of camp and was released. He signed with the Cardinals in October after Nolan Cooney, who had won the job out of camp, beating out Matt Haack in training camp, struggled to start the season. Gillikin punted the final 13 games, averaging a franchise-record 50.6 yards per punt. He re-signed in the offseason on a two-year deal. Last season, he punted in the first 13 games before injuring his ankle, which sent him to injured reserve and ended his season. He averaged 49.7 yards per kick with a career-high 44.2-yard net average and only one touchback. Nineteen of his punts (50%) were downed inside the 20-yard line, the highest rate of his career. Blake Gillikin 2025 contract details, cap hit He is in the final year of the two-year, $3.7 million deal he signed in 2024. In 2025, he will make $1.8 million in salary with no guarantees. His cap hit will be $2.1 million. Questions he faces, roster outlook He has been both very good and very consistent for the Cardinals since he signed in 2023. He punted better each year. Can he maintain that, and will that ankle injury linger? As for the roster, the Cardinals didn't bring in any other punters to compete in the offseason, so the job is his, unless things go sideways. The punter's job is never 100% secure. But as long as he continues to play at the level he has, he has a spot on the roster and could earn a contract extension.
