Cardinals Place LB Brooks Reed On IR

November 8th, 2019 at 3:42pm CST by Sam Robinson

The Cardinals signed Brooks Reed this offseason and used him in a reserve capacity. But the pass rusher’s time with the team could be over.

Arizona placed Reed on IR Friday, doing so because of a hamstring injury the 32-year-old linebacker sustained. Reed played in all nine Cardinals games this season after signing a one-year, $1.63MM contract.

Reed played four years with both the Texans and Falcons but saw his Atlanta run end this year when the team made him a cap casualty. After a one-sack 2018, Reed added one sack and five tackles this season. Reed’s sack totals have declined since his 2011 rookie season, when he recorded six. He has 22.5 for his career.

To replace Reed on the 53-man roster, the Cardinals promoted linebacker Pete Robertson. They also elevated cornerback Chris Jones from their taxi squad.

NFL Practice Squad Updates: 10/12/19

October 12th, 2019 at 7:07pm CST by Andrew Ortenberg

Just one practice squad move to report here on a quiet Saturday night:

Arizona Cardinals

Signed: CB Chris Jones
Released: CB Andre Chachere

Chachere is a 2018 UDFA from San Jose State who briefly spent some time on Detroit’s active roster last year. Jones is a 2018 UDFA from Nebraska who has been on and off Arizona’s practice squad the past two years. He earned some real playing time earlier this season, and started the team’s Week 3 loss to the Panthers. He was waived this past week, but has quickly been re-signed to the practice squad.

Lions Bring In 16 UDFAs

May 11th, 2018 at 2:55pm CST by Sam Robinson

One of the last UDFA contingents to be unveiled, the Lions have announced their 16-man group. Here’s the full rundown:

Al-Rasheed Benton, LB (West Virginia)
Amari Coleman, CB (Central Michigan)
Antwuan Davis, CB (Texas)
Josh Fatu, DT (USC)
Mike Ford, CB (Southeast Missouri)
DeAndre Goolsby, TE (Florida)
Chris Jones, CB (Nebraska)
Kyle Lewis, WR (Cal Poly)
Chad Meredith, LB (Southeast Missouri)
John Montelus, OL (Virginia)
Beau Nunn, OL (Appalachian State)
Brandon Powell, WR (Florida)
Teo Redding, WR (Bowling Green)
Ryan Santoso, P (Minnesota)
Anthony Sherrils, S (Missouri)
JoJo Wicker, DL (Arizona State)

This class interestingly houses two members of Southeast Missouri’s most recent defense. Ford led the Redhawks with 14 passes defensed last season and finished with 28 bench press reps at his pro day. Meredith was a first-team all-conference performer as a junior in 2016. Having started 41 career games at Appalachian State, Nunn finished last season with the fewest pressures allowed among full-time Division I-FBS players.

Detroit will bring in four cornerbacks after not using one of its six draft choices at this spot. The Lions did add former Seahawks corner DeShawn Shead in free agency and have 2017 second- and fifth-round picks Teez Tabor and Jamal Agnew on their roster.
