In this story:

The Arizona Cardinals have trimmed their roster down to 53 players ahead of the league's 4:00 PM EST deadline today. 

Along with the roster trimming, you will not see Kyler Murray (PUP) and Garrett Williams (NFI) on the roster until they are activated. Jonathan Gaines was placed on injured reserve and Kyler McMichael was waived/injured in the process. 

Their spots do not count against the 53-player total. The team also did not opt to get a long-snapper after releasing Aaron Brewer (all cuts down at the bottom), so technically they're at 52 spots.
