Wide receiver Simi Fehoko signed a one-year contract to return to the Arizona Cardinals, the team announced on Mar. 13. Fehoko missed the second half of the 2025 season due to injury, and his absence was felt on special teams.
Fehoko’s return is significant for the Cardinals as they look to strengthen their special teams unit. The team values his toughness and versatility, especially after he stepped in for Joey Blount following Blount’s neck injury last season.
Fehoko’s 2025 campaign saw him play eight games, recording a career-high 116 snaps on special teams and participating in 37 offensive snaps without being targeted. His resilience was evident during Week 10 against the Seahawks when he played through an ankle injury before breaking his arm on a subsequent kickoff.
The Cardinals’ wide receiver group already includes Marvin Harrison Jr., Michael Wilson, and recent addition Kendrick Bourne, who is expected to serve as WR3. Despite strong competition at the position, Fehoko could compete for an offensive role with another solid preseason performance.
The Arizona Cardinals are a professional football team in the NFC West division and host home games in Glendale, Arizona, according to the official website. The franchise serves the greater Phoenix area and is recognized as the oldest continuously operating professional football franchise in the United States according to its official website. The team captured an NFC championship in 2008 according to its official website.
Fehoko’s return adds depth and experience as the Cardinals prepare for their upcoming season.
