Cardinals had familiar face in for visit; could fill vacant practice squad spot

Might a reunion be ahead for the Arizona Cardinals and safety Andre Chachere?

Since being released by the Cardinals on Aug. 27, Chachere spent a little more than three weeks on the Jacksonville Jaguars practice squad (Sept. 12-Oct. 7), but has been a man without a team since then.

After the Cardinals released safety Russ Yeast from the practice squad Monday, Chachere was in Tempe for a visit Tuesday, making it appear that he will be signed to the practice squad soon.

It might not officially happen until next Monday because NFL players are paid during the bye week and there’s no work for him to do on the practice squad this week to earn a paycheck.

Head coach Jonathan Gannon was familiar with the 6-0, 200-pound Chachere when he played for the Eagles in 2021-22. The Cardinals claimed him on waivers after he was cut on May 8, 2023. He played all 17 games with five starts last season and was on the field for 468 defensive snaps (42 percent) and 232 (52 percent) on special teams.

Chachere had 29 tackles (23 solo) and had three passes defensed, while contributing three tackles (one solo) on special teams.
