​The Arizona Cardinals will report to training camp on July 22 and begin the process of preparing for the regular season, focusing on forming the roster and determining starting jobs and roles across the team. In the lead-up to camp, we will examine every player on the offseason roster, outlining their background, contract details, performance from 2025, the questions they face, and their eventual roster outlook.
Here is a look at receiver Reggie Virgil. Virgil is a rookie out of Texas Tech, selected by the Cardinals in the fifth round. The 6-3, 190-pound receiver compiled 57 receptions for 705 yards and six touchdowns after transferring from Miami of Ohio, where he posted 41 catches for 816 yards and nine scores in 2024. He signed a four-year rookie contract worth $4.9 million, with an expected 2026 cap hit just over $1 million. If he makes the 53-man roster this season, his salary will be $885,000, but his status on the team remains uncertain as a Day 3 pick entering camp.
Virgil enters training camp on the roster bubble. There are three or four receiver spots that appear fairly locked in, so his ultimate fate will largely depend on how many receivers the Cardinals decide to keep and whether he can carve out a specific role. He is a willing participant on special teams, which could provide him a pathway to the roster, but his best immediate option may be to land on the practice squad in 2026 if he does not secure a spot on the active roster this year.
For now, the Cardinals will evaluate Virgil along with the rest of the offseason cohort, weighing his potential as a depth receiver, his special-teams contributions, and how his development in training camp translates to opportunities in the regular season. The club will, as always, assess roster needs, cap considerations, and positional competition to determine where Virgil fits within the broader plan.
