Jaguars LB Dennis Gardeck placed on active/PUP
Gardeck, who signed with the Jaguars last month, can return to the 90-player roster once he passes his physical.
He tore the ACL in his right knee on a punt play in a game for the Cardinals against the Chargers last October. It is the same knee he injured in 2020. Gardeck finished his seventh NFL season with 20 tackles, six tackles for loss, three sacks and an interception.
Gardeck made the Cardinals' roster as an undrafted free agent out of Division II Sioux Falls in 2018.
He totaled 156 tackles, 17 sacks, two interceptions, seven pass breakups and three forced fumbles in seven seasons in Arizona.

Tyrann Mathieu retirement: Former Arizona Cardinals draft pick retires after 12 seasons
Mathieu played 12 NFL seasons, had three Pro Bowls and three All-Pro selections. A former Arizona Cardinals player who was key during their run of success in the middle of the 2010s has called it a career. Safety Tyrann Mathieu, originally drafted by the Arizona Cardinals, announced his retirement from the NFL after 12 seasons. He made the announcement on his Instragram account. As I hang up my cleats, I'm filled with gratitude as I close this chapter of my life and officially retire from the game that's shaped me in every way. From my first snap in college to my final play in the NFL, this journey has been nothing short of a blessing. Football gave me purpose, discipline, and memories that will stay with me forever. But more than anything, it gave me a community. To every coach who believed in me, every teammate who battled beside me, and every fan who showed up, cheered, and rode with me through the highs and lows, thank you. You gave me strength when I needed it most, and your love carried me farther than I ever imagined. I hope I made you proud out isn't goodbye — it's just the next chapter. Much love, always. Tyrann 💚 If you read through the comments, you will see many former Cardinals teammates — Carson Palmer, Kerwynn Williams, Rashad Johnson, Justin Bethel, Jaron Brown, Tyvon Branch, Chris Johnson, Elijhaa Penny and Frostee Rucker — had kind words. And if you're wondering why Patrick Peterson wasn't in the comments, it's because he had his own Instagram post about Mathieu's retirement. He was drafted in the third round in 2013 and made an immediate impact. He was fourth in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting but tore his left ACL near the end of his season. He played in 13 games in 2014 but was great in 2015, earning first-team All-Pro honors, picking off five passes and breaking up 17 passes. But he tore his other ACL at the end of the season. After a big contract extension before the 2016 season, he played two more seasons before the Cardinals cut him. He played seven more seasons with the Houston Texans, Kansas City Chiefs and, for the last three seasons, the New Orleans Saints. In his career, he earned three Pro Bowl selections and three first-team All-Pro selections. The Cardinals posted a congratulary message to social media with the announcement. Mathieu finishes his career with 838 total tackles, 11 sacks, 36 interceptions, four returned for touchdowns, 100 pass breakups, seven forced fumbles and eight fumble recoveries.

Mets' young trio provides necessary spark in another win over Angels
Access the Mets beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Mike Puma about the inside buzz on the Mets. Try it free In 2022, MLB Pipeline tabbed the Mets' three best prospects as Francisco Alvarez, Brett Baty and Ronny Mauricio, who along with Mark Vientos broke into the majors around the same time. Francisco Lindor coined the group the 'Baby Mets.' A few years later — after demotions, inconsistencies, injuries and flashes — they sure look grown up. Advertisement Bottles gone and bats looking ready to break out, the Mets' young trio were at the center of their one big, three-run inning that became the only offense they needed in a 3-2 victory over the Angels in front of a sellout crowd of 43,055 at Citi Field on Tuesday. The Mets (58-44) have won three straight after losing three straight and claimed the series before Wednesday's finale. 4 Francisco Alvarez celebrates after hitting a two-run home run in the fifth inning of the Mets' 3-2 home win over the Angels on July 22, 2025. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST Advertisement Frankie Montas was decent in letting up two runs in 5 ²/₃ innings — though recording 17 outs nearly qualifies as a marathon for this Mets rotation. Three relievers — highlighted by excellence from once-again-Met Rico Garcia and clutch work from Ryne Stanek, who induced a game-ending pop-out from Mike Trout with the potential tying run on second — were better in covering 3 ¹/₃ scoreless innings. Best for the Mets was the group of friends who have overcome a well-publicized option (in Alvarez's case), a roller-coaster ride that has included plenty of frustrations (in Baty's case) and a torn ACL (in Mauricio's case). 4 Ronny Mauricio reacts after he hits a single in the fifth inning. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post Advertisement 4 Brett Baty smiles after recording an out in the eighth inning of the Mets' win over the Angels. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST The Mets entered the fifth inning down two runs before the trio went to work. With two outs, Baty — looking more comfortable by the day and who received a vote of confidence from David Stearns on Monday — slugged a double that reached the wall in right-center. Alvarez — summoned Monday after a torrid stretch at Triple-A Syracuse — continued looking like the Alvarez of old in working a deep at-bat before getting a seventh-pitch fastball that was thrown down the middle. Alvarez hammered it over the left-field wall for a two-run homer that tied the game. As if the might were not evident enough, Alvarez flexed his right bicep as he came around third base. Advertisement CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND METS STATS Mauricio — whose progress also was highlighted by Stearns — then stroked a single and easily stole second base. A two-out hit from Brandon Nimmo drove in what became the game-winning run. A day after coming back from a four-run hole, the Mets completed another comeback because their bullpen was untouched. 4 Frankie Montas reacts as he walks back to the dugout after he is pulled from the game by Carlos Mendoza in the sixth inning of the Mets' win over the Angels. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post Garcia — who had been DFA'd by the Mets on July 11, signed with the Yankees July 14, pitched with the Yankees on Friday, was DFA'd by the Yankees on Saturday and was reclaimed by the Mets on Monday — recorded three large outs, including a strikeout of Trout. Reed Garrett followed without allowing a run and Stanek recorded his third save of the season, Edwin Díaz unavailable on what would have been a third straight day of work.
