Luketa missed the team's 26-9 loss to the Rams in Week 6 while dealing with a shoulder injury, but he now appears healthy heading into Week 7. The linebacker will return to his role on the special-teams unit Sunday against the Seahawks.

Cardinals' Jesse Luketa: Heads to Arizona
Rotowire
The Cardinals selected Luketa in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 256th overall.
Luketa compiled just a half sack across his entire four-year collegiate career at Penn State, but that's partially because he bounced between inside linebacker and defensive end over the past two seasons. A 4.89 40-yard dash at 253 pounds isn't ideal, but Luketa always seemed to make heady plays and was a disruptive force in the backfield (8.5 tackles for a loss) when given the opportunity. Expect the 23-year-old to compete for a special teams role early on.
