The Cardinals elevated Sims from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Sims is set to play his third consecutive game for the Cardinals. The 28-year-old is likely to serve as the Cardinals' kick and punt returner for Sunday's game, as he has logged 187 kick return yards and five punt return yards over the last two contests. The wide receiver also has upside as the fifth receiving option behind Michael Wilson, Xavier Weaver, Jalen Brooks and tight end Trey McBride.

Sims reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Sims was elevated to the active roster for the second straight week, failing to record any stats while playing three snaps on offense. Michael Wilson (49), Xavier Weaver (38), Marvin Harrison (19) and Jalen Brooks (17) out snapped him on offense, though Harrison aggravated his heel injury in the contest. Additionally, Sims returned five kickoffs for 132 yards and added a five-yard punt return in the team's 37-14 loss to Cincinnati. Sims seems likely to be elevated again for the team's final regular-season contest Sunday against the Rams.

The Cardinals elevated Sims from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old has been elevated to Arizona's active roster for the second consecutive week ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bengals. In the Week 16 loss to the Falcons, Sims tallied 55 kick-return yards but failed to haul in his lone target. He's expected to play another depth role in the Cardinals' receiving corps while contributing on special teams in Week 17.

Sims reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Sims was elevated to the Cardinals' active roster and made his 2025 regular-season debut during Sunday's loss to the Falcons. He played seven of 57 offensive snaps without recording a target, but he also played six snaps on special teams and returned two kickoffs for 55 yards. Sims is eligible to be elevated to the active roster twice more this season, and he could be brought up from the practice squad for Arizona's Week 17 tilt against Cincinnati on Sunday.

Sims failed to haul in his lone target while playing seven of the team's 57 snaps on offense in Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Falcons. He also returned two kickoffs for 55 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Elevated from the practice squad for the first time all season ahead of the Week 16 contest, Sims ended up sharing the No. 4 receiver role with Jalen Brooks, as both players logged single-digit snaps in the loss. Sims made his greatest impact on special teams, where he should continue to be a factor as a return man if the Cardinals elevate him again for either or both of their final two games of the season.

The Cardinals have elevated Sims from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
Sims could be in line to suit up for his first game of the 2025 regular season Sunday. He boasts the ability to contribute both as a depth option at wideout and in the return game. After Sunday's contest against Atlanta, Sims will revert to the practice squad.

The Cardinals signed Sims to the practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Sims reached an injury settlement with the Seahawks on Aug. 27 as he was plagued with a hamstring injury during the summer. The wide receiver has been cleared of injury designation and will join the Cardinals, making Arizona his first team of the 2025 regular season. With Marvin Harrison (heel) and Xavier Weaver (hamstring) questionable, as well as Greg Dortch (chest) on IR, the Cardinals have been looking for wide receiver depth to fill their ranks. Sims is a candidate for practice squad elevation ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans.

Sims (hamstring) reached an injury settlement with the Seahawks on Tuesday, shortly after the team had placed him on injured reserve.
EDGE Analysis
Sims was originally slated to go on season-ending IR, but the injury settlement makes him eligible to play in 2025. Once recovered from his hamstring injury, Sims can sign with any NFL team as a free agent. The 28-year-old wide receiver has 53 games of regular-season NFL experience.

Coach Mike Macdonald said Tuesday that Sims has a hamstring injury, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sims had been missing training camp practices due to an undisclosed injury, and now it's evident he's been dealing with a problem with his hamstring. He's projected as one of the favorites to return kicks for Seattle in 2025, but rookie fifth-rounder Tory Horton could get more looks in that role as long as Sims remains out.
