Remaining in Arizona Gillikin (back) and the Cardinals agreed on a one-year, $2.65 million contract Sunday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Impact Gillikin will stick around as Arizona's expected starter at punter heading into the 2026 season. The 28-year-old suffered a back injury in October, ultimately being placed on injured reserve. Gillikin will look to prove his health and be ready to go for OTA's in late May.

Lands on IR with back injury The Cardinals placed Gillikin on injured reserve Saturday due to a back injury, Zach Gershman of the team's official site reports.
Impact Gillikin appeared on Thursday's practice report due to a back injury, which is severe enough for him to warrant a stint on injured reserve. He'll be required to miss at least the next four games, making Week 11 against the 49ers on Sunday, Nov. 16 the earliest he is eligible to be reinstated off IR. Pat O'Donnell will serve as the Cardinals' punter against the Colts on Sunday and for as long as Gillikin is shelved.

Lands on IR Arizona placed Gillikin (foot) on injured reserve Saturday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Gillikin suffered a foot injury last Sunday in a loss to the Seahawks and didn't practice at all this week. His placement on IR means Gillikin could return to action during the current campaign only if the currently 6-7 Cardinals make the playoffs. Arizona elevated Michael Palardy off the practice squad Saturday to serve as the team's punter Sunday against the Patriots.

Will be sidelined Week 15 Gillikin (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup versus New England, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Impact Gillikin hurt his ankle in the first half of Sunday's loss to Seattle and didn't return. Placekicker Chad Ryland handled punting duties for Arizona the remainder of that contest, but the team signed Michael Palardy to the practice squad this week, and he will likely be called upon to punt Sunday versus the Patriots.
