The Arizona Cardinals announced a few roster moves on Monday. One was the re-signing of former USFL running back Stevie Scott.
The move appears to be for depth in the preseason finale on Saturday against the Minnesota Vikings.
Scott was signed two weeks ago but then released last week.
Scott most recently played in the USFL for the Michigan Panthers, rushing for 295 yards and a touchdown in 71 attempts.
The 6-foot-2, 231-pound back played collegiately for Indiana in 2018-2020 and then entered the league as an undrafted rookie with the New Orleans Saints. He spent part of the last two seasons with the Denver Broncos.
He might get action against the Vikings.
Starter James Conner will not likely play. Ty’Son Williams missed Saturday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
That leaves Keaontay Ingram, Emari Demercado and Corey Clement available.
Scott’s signing suggests either Williams will not be available or that another back in the room might not play.
