Rivaldo Fairweather: Everything you need to know

The Cardinals signed Fairweather to the active roster from the Cowboys' practice squad, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports. Fairweather has spent the entire 2025 regular season on the Cowboys' practice squad, but now finds himself as the tight end No. 5 on the Cardinals' active roster. The team took the opportunity to upgrade its depth at tight end, releasing Messiah Swinson from the practice squad in another Tuesday move.

Fairweather was signed to the Cowboys' practice squad Wednesday. Fairweather cleared waivers after being let go by the team Tuesday, and he will now stick around as a member of the practice squad in Dallas. The tight end will look to earn an elevation to the active roster to make his NFL debut in 2025.

Dallas waived Fairweather on Tuesday. Fairweather spent the offseason competing for a reserve role with the Cowboys, but he couldn't earn one of limited spots on the initial 53-man roster. The undrafted rookie out of Auburn may be a candidate to pop back up on the practice squad.
