2025 Fantasy Outlook
Without the move from Texas A&M to Mississippi last year, Nolen hadn't put enough on tape to warrant a significant investment in the draft, but he responded with 14 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks in 13 games en route to consensus All-American honors. Such a performance at defensive tackle resulted in the Cardinals selecting him 16th overall in April, and he'll have the benefit of veteran DTs Calais Campbell and Dalvin Tomlinson to lean on as he eases into the NFL ranks.

Signed a four-year, $19.37 million contract with the Cardinals in June of 2025.
Won't be activated for Week 7
Head coach Jonathan Gannon said Friday that Nolen (calf) won't be activated for Sunday's game against the Packers, Bo Brack of PHNX Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Nolen practiced Wednesday, opening his three-week window to come off the PUP list, but he won't be activated for Sunday's game against the Packers. The rookie first-round pick's next chance to make his NFL debut will come Nov. 3 in Dallas following the Cardinals' Week 8 bye.
