The Cardinals cut Mauro on Tuesday, Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After spending his first four seasons in Arizona, Mauro returned to the desert last season, but he only appeared in three games, registering five tackles and one sack. The 30-year-old will now look elsewhere to find a new opportunity for the 2021 campaign.

Mauro signed a contract with the Cardinals on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Mauro returns to Arizona after the team waived the defensive end with injury settlement back in January. Now fully recovered, it appears Mauro will pick up where he left off -- competing for a depth role on the defensive line.

The Cardinals waived Mauro (hamstring) off injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mauro signed a contract with the Cardinals in October of 2021, and after three games, he landed himself on IR with a hamstring injury. Zach Allen will likely continue playing most of the defensive snaps for the Cardinals as Mauro will no longer be with the team.

Mauro (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Mauro has spent three weeks on IR, and he'll start preparing to be activated. The Cardinals have a 21-day window to activate the 29-year-old defensive end. If he's able to return this week against the Eagles, Mauro could handle a substantial workload because Jordan Phillips (hamstring) has already been ruled out.

Mauro was placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Mauro joined the Cardinals during the bye week and had five tackles and one sack in a rotational role over the past three games, but he'll now be sidelined for at least the next three contests. Zach Allen (ankle), fresh off injured reserve, should fill the vacated snaps for Arizona.

Mauro signed a contract with the Cardinals on Wednesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old was suspended for the first five games of the season, but he was let go by the Jaguars last week before appearing in a game. He then signed with Jacksonville's practice squad. Mauro provides depth on the defensive line with Zach Allen (ankle) moved to injured reserve and Jordan Phillips (hamstring) also less than 100 percent.

Mauro was released from the exempt/commissioner permission list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Mauro recently completed his five-game suspension for violation of the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs, but he was promptly placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list five days later. After starting seven times while recording 19 tackles for the Raiders in 2019, Mauro finds himself back on the free-agent market without having played a single game for Jacksonville.

The Jaguars placed Mauro on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Mauro had his suspension lifted Monday and was expected to return to the lineup for Sunday's matchup against the Lions, but now he'll need to clear the NFL's COVID-19 protocols before returning to team activities.

Mauro completed his five-game suspension and was moved to the exempt/commissioner permission list Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old was suspended for the first five games of the season for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances. Mauro will have a roster exemption until the Jaguars decide to add him to the active roster or cut him.

Mauro was suspended five games for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing substance policy, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Jaguars signed Mauro on Aug. 11 and were reportedly aware that the defensive end would be suspended. The 29-year-old was expected to play a rotational role anyway since Josh Allen and Yannick Ngakoue appear locked into starting roles while rookie first-round pick K'Lavon Chaisson could battle for consistent reps as well. Mauro is eligible to return Week 6 against the Lions.
