The Arizona Cardinals are retaining another defensive assistant. They will retain Matt Feeney, who was the team’s outside linebackers coach last year, according to CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz.
Feeney was hired last year to replace Rob Rodriguez. Josh Sweat is having a great year, recording a career-high 12 sacks in his first season with the Cardinals.
