The Arizona Cardinals knew their cuts to reach a 53-man roster would make them vulnerable of losing talent, but they were able to retain some of that Sunday.

Wide receiver Brittan Golden, cornerback Harlan Miller, tight end Ifeanyi Momah, linebacker Shaq Riddick, tight end Hakeem Valles and tackle Givens Price were officially added to the practice squad Sunday.

Not all the talent stayed with the team, though.

Safety Matthias Farley, an undrafted rookie out of Notre Dame, was cut Saturday only to be claimed by the Indianapolis Colts off the waiver wire, according to reports.

The Cardinals did not pick up any players on the waiver wire Sunday, according to The Arizona Republic’s Kent Somers.

Arizona, however, did have some success retaining players who stood out in camp but were casualties of deep position groups.

Golden will return to the Cardinals’ practice squad after not being claimed by any other teams, which may be surprising considering his success this preseason and his big special teams plays in the past.

Riddick was a fifth-round pick of the team in 2015, and as a pass-rusher on a team that needed them, it appears he has yet to take advantage of that opportunity.
