Burns was an undrafted rookie out of Arizona. He played five games for the Wildcats last year, posting 24 tackles with two for loss.

He logged nine interceptions over 42 games at UA.

Muhammad was serving his second stint with the Cardinals. Drafted by the Tennessee Titans in the seventh round of the 2017 NFL Draft, Muhammad has since bounced to multiple teams as a practice squad member.

He was signed to a reserve/future contract with the Cardinals in January of 2021.
