Cardinals sign RB Marlon Mack

The Arizona Cardinals had an off day in Friday but did make a roster move.

They added veteran running back Marlon Mack, signing him to a one-year deal. To make room for him on the roster, the Cardinals released long snapper Jack Coco.

Mack is a 6-foot, 210-pound back entering his seventh NFL season.

He was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts in the fourth round in 2017 and played for them for five seasons, surpassing 900 rushing yards in 2018 and 1,000 yards in 2019.

However, since 2019, he has appeared in only 15 games and has rushed for only 211 yards.

He split last season between the Denver Broncos and the San Francisco 49ers.

He adds experience to an otherwise inexperienced group of running backs behind starter James Conner.

This signing is not the running back addition many expected. It doesn’t feel like the running back room got much better unless Mack is something close to what he was in 2019.
