The Arizona Cardinals were busy on Tuesday bringing in players to work out. With three running backs injured, they brought in five running backs and two other players.
They did not work out any kickers, so if Matt Prater can’t kick again this week, it will be Matt Ammendola for the second straight week.
Let’s take a look at the players they brought in.
