The Arizona Cardinals announced some roster moves to get ready for their Week 10 game at State Farm Stadium against the Los Angeles Rams. They get a tight end back and added wide receiver help.
TE Hunter Long returns
The Cardinals announced that tight end Hunter Long, out since Week 4 with a knee injury, was activated from injured reserve, filling the final vacancy on the 53-man roster.
Long gives the Cardinals four tight ends on the roster. His return should help the run game a little, as his main role is as a blocker. Teagan Quitoriano, who has been the third tight end for the last month, will see his role change to probably only special teams.
WR Zay Jones elevated
They also elevated receiver Zay Jones from the practice squad to the active roster. His elevation was expected. Head coach
Mike LaFleur suggested that would be the case. He could end up a starter. He joins Simi Fehoko, Devin Duvernay and rookies Reggie Virgil and Harrison Wallace III in the receiver room.
Good news about questionable players
With no elevations on the defensive line, things look good for both Roy Lopez and Darius Robinson, both of whom were questionable to play. Lopez has a toe injury, while Robinson injured his wrist in practice this week.
It would seem that both are good to go.
Cornerback Max Melton and safety Andrew Wingard are also both listed as questionable to play. But with no additions of any defensive backs, it would appear that both will be ready to play.
The Cardinals will announce inactive lists 90 minutes before kickoff.
