Andre Baccellia Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Rams vs Cardinals game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Nov 30, 2025
Exits game with arm injury
Baccellia (arm) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia sustained the injury in the third quarter, and he's being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. He's contributed on special teams and on offense, so his absence means more snaps at wide receiver are available for Xavier Weaver and Greg Dortch.
Nov 12, 2025
Signed to Arizona's active roster
The Cardinals signed Baccellia from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia opted to stay in Arizona as a member of the team's practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp in late August. He hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since 2023, but his addition to the active roster comes after the Cardinals placed fellow wide receivers Zay Jones (Achilles) and Simi Fehoko (wrist) on injured reserve. With Marvin Harrison (appendix) ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers and Xavier Weaver (ankle) listed as questionable, Baccellia could play a meaningful role on offense in his 2025 regular-season debut.

Staying in Arizona
The Cardinals signed Baccellia to the practice squad Thursday, Zach Gershman of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia has spent most of the past four years on the Cardinals' practice squad, though he has played in 13 regular-season games between 2022 (eight) and 2023 (five). He'll once again serve as organizational depth to start the year and will aim to see regular-season action for the first time since Week 13 of the 2023 season.
Aug 25, 2025
Waived by Arizona
The Cardinals waived Baccellia on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia has been in Arizona's organization since 2021, and the plan is to bring him back on the practice squad if he clears waivers, according to Wilson. Baccellia has seven career catches for 45 yards across 13 regular-season appearances.
Jan 6, 2025
Inks deal with Arizona
The Cardinals signed Baccellia to a reserve/future contract Monday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old spent his 2024 campaign with the Cardinals' practice squad after failing to make the team's active roster in late August. Baccellia most recently appeared in a regular-season game with the Cardinals in 2023, tallying 22 kick return yards while playing 64 total snaps (46 offensive and 18 on special teams). He's expected to compete for a depth role in Arizona's wide receiver corps throughout the offseason.
Aug 29, 2024
Lands with practice squad
Baccellia signed with the Cardinals' practice squad Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia has bounced between Arizona's active roster and practice squad each of the last two seasons, appearing in a total of 13 regular-season games. In that time, he's caught seven passes on 10 targets for 45 yards. He'll now have the opportunity to stick with the franchise and work toward carving out a larger role with the team.
Aug 27, 2024
Let go by Arizona
The Cardinals waived Baccellia on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia spent most of the previous three seasons going up and down from the Cardinals' practice squad and active roster. He has seven career catches for 45 yards across 13 games. Baccellia caught seven passes for 85 scoreless yards during the preseason.
Jan 8, 2024
Gets reserve/future deal from Cards
Arizona signed Baccellia to a reserve/future contract Monday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia got into five games with the Cardinals this season, logging 46 offensive snaps without seeing a target or getting a touch. He also played 18 snaps on special teams and returned a kickoff for 22 yards. The wideout was more involved in 2022, corralling seven of 10 targets for 45 yards over eight contests. Baccellia will have a chance to compete for a roster spot during training camp this summer.
Dec 12, 2023
Comes back to Arizona
The Cardinals signed Baccellia to the practice squad Tuesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia joined the Cardinals' active roster Nov. 8, but was waived by the team Monday. He's played in five games this season and has returned one kickoff for 22 yards.
Dec 11, 2023
Waived by Arizona
The Cardinals waived Baccellia on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia saw a season-high 28 offensive snaps against Pittsburgh in Week 13, but he didn't log any stats or get any targets. Arizona is on bye this week and has elected to waive the 26-year-old wideout, who caught seven passes on 10 targets for 45 yards over eight games last season. The Cardinals also signed receiver Jeff Smith to their practice squad Monday.
Dec 7, 2023
Sees season-high snap total
Baccellia went without a target while playing 31 of the Cardinals' 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Though his 46 percent snap share was by far a season-high rate for the 26-year-old receiver, he still has yet to draw a single look in the passing game through his five appearances with Arizona. Baccellia's playing time climbed Sunday while Michael Wilson (shoulder) and Zach Pascal (personal) were out, but if either or both wideouts return to action following Arizona's Week 14 bye, Baccellia will likely be in store for a significant reduction in snaps.
Nov 18, 2023
Signs to active roster
The Cardinals signed Baccellia to their active roster Saturday, Howard Balzer of GoPHNX.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia's signing to the active roster could very well be in response to Michael Wilson (shoulder) popping up on the Cardinals' injury report Friday. The second-year wideout has appeared in two games for Arizona this year, playing a total of 11 snaps (five offensive and six on special teams) and returning one kickoff for 22 yards.
Nov 8, 2023
Returns to Arizona
Baccellia signed with the Cardinals' practice squad Wednesday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia has bounced between the Cardinals' 53-man roster, practice squad and being a free agent multiple times this season, most recently being waived Monday after signing with the active roster ahead of Sunday's loss to the Browns.
Nov 6, 2023
Gets waived Monday
Arizona waived Baccellia on Monday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Just two days after signing with Arizona's active roster, Baccellia is now headed to waivers. In a corresponding move, the Cardinals claimed center Doug Kramer from waivers.
Nov 4, 2023
Elevated Saturday
The Cardinals promoted Baccellia to their active roster Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Arizona waived Baccellia after the team's Week 8 loss to the Ravens, but he was brought back to the practice squad after clearing waivers, and he's now set to appear in his second consecutive game. The 26-year-old wideout played eight snaps and returned one kickoff for 22 yards in last week's contest.
Nov 1, 2023
Joins Arizona's practice squad
Baccellia signed with Arizona's practice squad Wednesday, Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia signed to Arizona's active roster this past Saturday but was subsequently waived Monday after suiting up for Sunday's 31-24 loss to Baltimore. After passing through waivers unclaimed, the wide receiver has been added to Arizona's practice squad. He played eight snaps against the Ravens and returned one kickoff for 22 yards, so Baccellia could be a candidate to be elevated for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Oct 30, 2023
Let go by Arizona
The Cardinals waived Baccellia on Monday, Howard Balzer of GoPHNX.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia signed to the Cardinals' active roster Saturday with Greg Dortch (ankle) inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens. Baccellia played eight snaps in the game and contributed with a 22-yard kick return. Balzer notes that it's likely that Baccellia will sign with Arizona's practice squad if he clears waivers.
Oct 28, 2023
Signed to Cardinals' roster
The Cardinals signed Baccellia to their active roster Saturday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia was cut by the Cardinals ahead of the 53-man roster deadline at the end of training camp, but elected to join the team's practice squad on Aug. 31. The undrafted wide receiver out of Washington made eight appearances for Arizona last season and caught seven of 10 passes for 45 yards.
Aug 31, 2023
Rejoins Arizona on practice squad
Baccellia was picked up by the Cardinals' practice squad Thursday, Howard Balzer of GoPHNX.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia was unable to break through onto the team's 53-man roster but will remain in Arizona. He's familiar with the playbook and should be able to fill in should a spot open for him this season.
Aug 29, 2023
Let go by Arizona
The Cardinals cut Baccellia on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia flashed this preseason and boasts enough speed to potentially warrant a spot on Arizona's practice squad. In eight appearances with the team last season, he secured seven of 10 targets for 45 yards.
Aug 21, 2023
Posts 2/32 line in preseason game
Baccellia caught two of five targets for 32 yards in the Cardinals' preseason loss to the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia left the preseason opener the week before to be checked for a concussion, but he's evidently healthy. The 26-year-old played 43 offensive snaps versus Kansas City and is among the group of wideouts competing for a final roster spot with Arizona.
Aug 12, 2023
Evaluated for concussion
Baccellia left Friday's preseason matchup with the Broncos early in order to be evaluated for a concussion, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia was active before exiting the game, as he had accumulated 45 yards on three receptions. If it is confirmed that he suffered a concussion, he will need to clear the league's protocols before suiting up again.
Dec 31, 2022
Signed to active roster
The Cardinals signed Baccellia to their active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia has already played in six games for Arizona this season, including in each of the team's first five contests. He was waived in late November and subsequently re-signed to the Cardinals' practice squad, and he now re-joins the active roster. Most of his opportunity during the campaign has come with DeAndre Hopkins out of action, and that will again be the case Sunday with Hopkins out due to a knee injury. Still, Baccellia has just five catches for 32 yards on the campaign, so he isn't likely to play a key role against Atlanta.
Nov 30, 2022
Rejoining Cards' practice squad
The Cardinals re-signed Baccellia to the practice squad Wednesday, Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia was signed to Arizona's active roster for the third time this season ahead of Sunday's loss to the Chargers, and he caught one pass for seven yards on his lone snap in this contest. However, the wideout was once again waived Monday, and, after previously being elevated from the practice squad for two of the Cardinals' games earlier this season, he will be eligible for one more activation with the team in 2022. With the team on bye Week 13, Baccellia likely won't have much value as an emergency depth option if wideouts Rondale Moore (groin) and Greg Dortch (thumb) are available to play against New England on Monday, Dec. 12.
Nov 28, 2022
Waived by Arizona
Arizona waived Baccellia on Monday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia has made six appearances for Arizona this season, totaling five receptions on six targets for 32 yards. The wideout was elevated from the practice squad for Week 12 with Rondale Moore (groin) and Greg Dortch (thumb) out, but the Cardinals' waiving Baccellia suggests both of those wideouts will be back following Arizona's Week 13 bye. Urban suggests that if Baccellia clears waivers, the Cardinals will likely re-sign him to their practice squad.
Nov 26, 2022
Comes up from practice squad
The Cardinals signed Baccellia of their practice squad Saturday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia was active for each of Arizona's first five games of the season, hauling in four of six targets for 25 yards. Since then, he's resided on the practice squad, but he'll get another chance to get in the mix Sunday against the Chargers. Rondale Moore (groin) already has been ruled out, while Greg Dortch (thumb) will be a game-time decision, so Baccellia will be among the potential wide receivers available along with Pharoh Cooper behind DeAndre Hopkins, Marquise Brown, A.J. Green and Robbie Anderson.
Oct 13, 2022
Signs with practice squad
The Cardinals signed Baccellia to the their practice squad Thursday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia has gone back-and-fourth between the Arizona's active roster and their practice squad all season long, so this move doesn't come with much surprise. The 25-year-old has appeared in all five games so far in 2022 for the Cardinals, totaling four receptions for 25 yards in that span. With star receiver DeAndre Hopkins set to return Week 7 from his suspension, Baccellia is expected to have a difficult time competing for snaps moving forward, barring any injuries to the team's WR corps.
Oct 11, 2022
Let go Tuesday
Baccellia was waived by the Cardinals on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia was signed to the active roster Saturday, as he was out of practice squad elevations. He had appeared in all five games this season, recording four catches for 25 yards on six targets.
Oct 8, 2022
Signs to active roster
Arizona signed Baccellia to its active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
The Cardinals had already used their three standard elevations on Baccellia, so they decided to officially promote him to their active roster ahead of Week 5. The 175-pound wideout has caught four of six targets for 25 yards through three games in 2022.
Oct 3, 2022
Moves back down to practice squad
Baccellia reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, per Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia was elevated ahead of Sunday's win over the Panthers, though he did not record a target while playing six of Arizona's 79 offensive snaps. The 175-pound wideout also played three special-teams snaps Week 4, and he will be available for one more game-day activation from the Cardinals' practice squad this season.
Oct 1, 2022
Elevated to active roster
Baccellia was elevated to the active roster Saturday for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
If active Sunday, Baccellia will have played in each of the Cardinals' first four games. He has tallied two receptions in each of the last two contests, totaling 25 total yards. With A.J. Green (knee) ruled out, Baccellia could serve a depth role among Arizona's receiving corps again.
Sep 26, 2022
Heads back to practice squad
Baccellia reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia played in the Cardinals' first two games of the season before being waived and signing with the team's practice squad last Wednesday. He was ultimately elevated ahead of Sunday's loss to the Rams, hauling in two of his four targets for 13 yards while playing 26 of Arizona's 83 offensive snaps. However, all of this production came after starting wideout A.J. Green (knee) was forced to exit, and Baccellia's usage as an emergency backup will be tied to injuries moving forward.
Sep 24, 2022
Will be active vs. the Rams
Arizona elevated Baccellia from its practice squad Saturday for Week 3.
ANALYSIS
This will be the third consecutive week Baccellia is active for the Cardinals and the last time he's eligible to be elevated from the practice squad before he would have to be signed to the team's active roster in order to suit up. The 25-year-old wideout has caught both of his two targets for 24 yards through two games.
Sep 21, 2022
Back with Cards
The Cardinals signed Baccellia to their practice squad Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia received his first NFL action Week 1 and hauled in the first two targets of his career (for 12 yards) Week 2, but Arizona opted to waive him Tuesday. One day later, though, he's back with the team and will be eligible for elevation from the practice squad, which may come to pass Sunday against the Rams with the status of Rondale Moore (hamstring) again up in the air.
Sep 20, 2022
Waived by Arizona
The Cardinals waived Baccellia on Tuesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia was signed to the Cardinals' active roster ahead of the season opener and made appearances in each of the first two games of the campaign. After not seeing a target across eight snaps during his NFL regular-season debut in Week 1, he caught both of his targets for 12 yards across 16 snaps in Week 2. If he clears waivers, it's possible the Cardinals elect to re-sign Baccellia to their practice squad.
Sep 10, 2022
Signed to active roster
Baccellia has been signed to the Cardinals' active roster ahead of Sunday's opening clash against the Chiefs, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
With Rondale Moore (hamstring) ruled out, Baccellia has been called up to help provide depth at receiver. However, his most likely impact on the field figures to come on special teams. He will enter the game as the No. 5 wideout on the depth chart.
Aug 31, 2022
Back in Arizona
The Cardinals signed Baccellia to their practice squad Wednesday, Bob McManaman of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia didn't play in the Cardinals' last two preseason games after picking up an ankle injury in the team's exhibition opener. However, as expected, he returns to Arizona's organization via a practice squad deal. Baccellia is still looking to make his regular-season NFL debut.
Aug 29, 2022
Let go by Arizona
The Cardinals waived Baccellia (ankle) on Monday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia didn't play in any of the Cardinals preseason games due to an ankle injury. However, the undrafted wideout out of Washington is expected to join the Cardinals' practice squad if he clears waivers.
Apr 15, 2021
Links with Cardinals
Arizona signed Baccellia to a contract Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia spent time with the Patriots and Chiefs last offseason after going undrafted out of Washington. He'll now get a chance to compete and develop in Arizona's crowded wide receiver room.
Sep 6, 2020
Time up in New England
Baccellia was cut by the Patriots on Saturday, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia only spent a week with the Patriots before being cut, coming over from the Chiefs this offseason. It's likely that the undrafted free agent out of Washington will earn a practice squad spot with the Patriots or elsewhere around the league.
Aug 29, 2020
Signs with Pats
Baccellia signed with the Patriots on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia will get a chance to climb a wide receiver depth chart that lacks certainty behind Julian Edelman. After being released by the Chiefs earlier this month, Baccellia has a better chance of latching on with New England's practice squad than making the 53-man roster if he sticks at all.
Aug 19, 2020
Let go by Kansas City
The Chiefs waived Baccellia on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Baccellia earned a contract with the Chiefs after he went undrafted in the 2020 draft. The Wasington product compiled a modest 29 catches for 314 yards and four touchdowns as a senior at Washington, and he'll likely have to compete for a depth or practice squad role elsewhere.
