The Arizona Cardinals had to shake up their practice squad a bit this week, but they have made all the moves ahead of their first practice of Week 10, getting ready to face the Los Angeles Rams.

The moves began Tuesday when they released tight end Rivaldo Fairweather and running back Jermar Jefferson. With tight end Hunter Long returning to practice from injured reserve, Fairweather isn't needed. Jefferson's release suggests that Bam Knight will return to practice after missing all last week with a concussion.

Replacing Fairweather and Jefferson are a wide receiver and an offensive lineman.

They announced the signing of veteran receiver Phillip Dorsett II on Tuesday to the practice squad, and signed offensive lineman Jamaree Salyer on Wednesday.

Dorsett has been in the league since 2015 but has not played in a game since 2023.

He is 33 years old and 5-10, 185 pounds. He has played with the Denver Broncos (2023), Houston Texans (2021-22), Jacksonville Jaguars (2021), Seattle Seahawks (2021), New England Patriots (2017-19) and Indianapolis Colts (2015-16). In his career, he has played in 94 games, starting 20 of them, and has 151 receptions for 2,001 yards (13.3 avg) and 12 touchdowns to go along with 14 carries for 84 yards.

Salyer was drafted in the sixth round in 2022 by the LA Chargers out of Georgia. He is 6-4 and 335 pounds. He started 40 games in four seasons for the Chargers from 2022-2025. He signed with the Miami Dolphins in the offseason, got hurt in training camp, was placed on injured reserve and later waived from IR with an injury settlement.
