The Arizona Cardinals made a number of practice squad moves on Wednesday, adding three new players. Tight end Shawn Bowman was signed to the active roster, creating one vacancy, and they released defensive lineman Jay Toia and linebacker Eugene Asante.
Asante signed with the team during training camp. Toia was signed to the practice squad on Sept. 23.
Their new additions are running back Jerome Ford, receiver Shedrick Jackson and linebacker Riley Wilson.
Rookie running back Jeremiyah Love has an ankle injury he is dealing with, so the addition of Ford suggests Love might not be able to practice all week. Without Love, the Cardinals would have only three running backs between the 53-man roster (Tyler Allgeier, Bam Knight) and practice squad (Evan
Hull). Ford gives them a fourth.
The trade of Marvin Harrison Jr. gave the Cardinals one less receiver to practice with, while Wilson replaces Asante.
