Rotowire
Virgil (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's battle against the Giants.
Virgil has yet to log a snap so far during his rookie campaign. The fifth-round pick in April's NFL Draft may need an injury (or other absence) ahead of him on the wideout depth chart in order to garner playing time for Arizona.

The Cardinals will go with six active wide receivers Sunday, with the position group led by Michael Wilson, Marvin Harrison and Kendrick Bourne.

Cardinals' Reggie Virgil: Modest production in preseason finale
Rotowire
Virgil caught three of six targets for 23 yards in a loss to Green Bay during Friday's exhibition contest.
Virgil's line was especially quiet in comparison to some of the other wideouts he's competing with a for a spot on the 53-man roster, including Simi Fehoko (5-94-2) and Jalen Brooks (4-57-0).

Cardinals' Reggie Virgil: Nabbed by Cardinals
Rotowire
The Cardinals selected Virgil in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 143rd overall.
Virgil leveraged his third-year breakout at Miami (Ohio) in 2024 into a starting role at Texas Tech in 2025. The 21-year-old finished his final season with 57 receptions for 705 yards and six touchdowns. He's a tall, lanky receiver at 6-foot-3, 187 pounds, and while that didn't limit him in college, it will be a bigger impediment to playing time in the NFL. Out of the gate, Virgil, who ran a 4.57 40-yard dash at the 2026 NFL Combine, figures to be a candidate to compete for special-teams work until he can carve out an offensive role in an Arizona WR corps that's led by Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson.
