GLENDALE, Ariz. – Former Brighton High standout Simi Fehoko signed with the Arizona Cardinals this offseason and caught his second touchdown with the team on Saturday.
In the first quarter, quarterback Clayton Tune took a snap in the red zone and found Fehoko on the left side for the toe-tap score.

That ended up being Fehoko’s only catch of the game as he finished with one reception for 10 yards and a touchdown.
In two preseason appearances, he has had a touchdown catch in both. Against the Broncos, Fehoko scored Arizona’s only points, finishing with two receptions for 21 yards and a TD.
Currently, the Cardinals have 10 wide receivers on their roster. That number will likely be cut down to 5-7 when the 53-man roster is released. The most likely locks for those spots are Marvin Harrison Jr., Michael Wilson, and Greg Dortch.
Fehoko has a good shot at making the final cuts and heading into the regular season as a bench receiver.
