Revenge of the Birds
The hits keep on coming for the Arizona Cardinals as they have placed two more players on injured reserve.
Today, the team announced wide receiver Andre Baccellia, who took a scary hit in the game against the Houston Texans and had to be carted off, as well as running back Zonovan “Bam” Knight are going on injured reserve.
From the team:
Signed wide receiver Jalen Brooks to the active roster from the practice squad
– Placed wide receiver Andre Baccellia and running back Zonovan Knight on injured reserve
– Signed offensive lineman Marques Cox to the practice squad
– Re-signed safety Patrick McMorris to the practice squad
– Released offensive lineman Trey Wedig from the practice squad
The signings took place today at the Dignity Health Arizona Cardinals Training Center in Tempe, AZ.
Cox (6-5, 305) is a rookie who entered the league with Denver as an undrafted free agent from Kentucky and spent time this season on the Broncos practice squad. He played 61 games (59 starts) in his collegiate career, including starting all 12 games in 2024 with the Wildcats. Cox began his college career at Northern Illinois (2018-22) before playing his final two seasons (2023-24) at Kentucky.
Cox will wear jersey #61 and McMorris will wear #35.
They also made a number of moves on their practice squad, but the two big moves were placing two more players on the IR for the season.
Let’s hope Baccellia is going to be fine, and wishing a quick recovery to Knight.
