Only three former Arizona Wildcats made season-opening rosters in the NFL this year, among the lowest in program history. But four weeks into the 2023 campaign that number has grown to four.
Ex-UA defensive lineman Roy Lopez has been elevated to the Arizona Cardinals’ active roster, three days after being signed to the practice squad. The move was necessitated by potential season-ending injuries to a pair of Cardinals defensive linemen.
Lopez, 26, started 29 games the previous two seasons with the Houston Texans, who took him in the 6th round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
