From the team:
The Arizona Cardinals Football Club today announced that the team has signed offensive lineman Dohnovan West (Donovan) and has released wide receiver Kelly Akharaiyi. The signing took place today at the Dignity Health Arizona Cardinals Training Center in Tempe, AZ.
West (6-3, 296) played collegiately at Arizona State (2019-21)
and entered the NFL with San Francisco as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2022. He played the past two seasons with St. Louis in the UFL, including appearing in 10 games (six starts) in 2025. In 2023, West played 10 games (seven starts) with the Vegas Vipers in the XFL. While at Arizona State, West was a second-team All-Pac 12 selection as a junior in 2021.
West will wear #62.
The Cardinals have suffered multiple injuries along the offensive line in the preseason to their depth. Hopefully they can finish things off this preseason healthy.
Welcome back to the desert, Dohnovan.
