The Arizona Cardinals are adding perhaps the most veteran of veteran quarterback in the NFL now that quarterback Gardner Minshew is potentially out for the season with an elbow injury. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Cardinals are signing quarterback Josh Johnson off the Cincinnati Bengals' practice squad to their active roster.

Johnson is one of the most well-traveled players in NFL history. He has been on 15 teams in 14 NFL seasons. He is 40 years old and has been in the NFL since 2008. He has played in the NFL, UFL, AAF and XFL.

This is his first stint with the Cardinals, but he is familiar with Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur. Johnson, in one of his stints with the San Francisco 49ers, was on the 49ers' practice squad in November

and December 2020, LaFleur's final season as passing game coordinator with the Niners.

Johnson has appeared in 50 career games and has started 11 times. He has completed 58.7% of his passes for 2,669 yards, 14 touchdowns and 18 interceptions.

The Cardinals already had a roster vacancy, as they traded Jacoby Brissett on Friday.
