The Cardinals signed Aguilar off the Jaguars' practice squad Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Arizona has yet to announce a corresponding move, but top quarterback Gardner Minshew could be headed to injured reserve after sustaining a torn ACL in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks that may require season-ending surgery. An undrafted rookie out of Tennessee, Aguilar joins fellow rookie Carson Beck and veteran journeyman Josh Johnson as the healthy options in the Cardinals' quarterback room. Aguilar will likely settle in as the No. 3 option on the depth chart if Minshew is indeed placed on IR.

Joey Aguilar: Waived by Jacksonville
Rotowire
Aguilar was waived by the Jaguars on Sunday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Aguilar signed with Jacksonville as an undrafted free agent in April, but was unable to beat Nick Mullens or Carter Bradley for the backup quarterback spot behind Trevor Lawrence. The Jaguars are expected to remain interested in the 25-year-old rookie, and he could be a top candidate to sign to the team's practice squad should he not find interest elsewhere.

Jaguars' Joey Aguilar: Officially joins Jaguars
Rotowire
The Jaguars signed Aguilar as an undrafted free agent Sunday.
Aguilar is now officially on the books and set to compete with Nick Mullens and Carter Bradley for the honor of backing up Trevor Lawrence. Aguilar's 3,565 passing yards and 24 passing touchdowns as a senior at Tennessee provide a strong foundation for the summer that he will spend slinging the rock against NFL veterans in an effort to suit up at the highest level.

Joey Aguilar: Headed to Jacksonville
Rotowire
Aguilar is slated to sign with the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Aguilar will join the Jacksonville quarterback room and will vie with Nick Mullens and Carter Bradley for one of two potential backup jobs behind starter Trevor Lawrence. As a seventh-year senior at Tennessee this past fall, Aguilar completed 67.3 percent of his passes for 3,565 yards, 24 pass touchdowns and 10 interceptions. The 24-year-old has a solid arm, good deep ball potential and a great frame, but he struggles with seeing the field. This weakness is especially evident when he's pressured, due to a lack of pocket elusiveness that led to eight fumbles in 2025 and 29 in three years at the FBS level. Aguilar also had surgery in January to remove a benign tumor on his throwing shoulder, adding to the worries already in place about his age as he enters the league.
