QB Jarrett Guarantano
Guarantano was listed as having visited the team. This often signifies a signing of some sort. In his case, it would likely be for the practice squad.
Although unannounced as of Tuesday evening, the team did release receiver Jontre Kirklin from the practice squad, opening a spot.
Guarantano is an undrafted rookie out of Washington State who spent the offseason and preseason with the Cardinals before being released.
If he is signing, it could signal that backup quarterback Colt McCoy, who did not practice Monday, might not be able to practice the rest of the week.
Trace McSorley would take the second-team reps and Guarantano would run the scout team.
