The Arizona Cardinals have been dealing with injuries at running back and wide receiver. It probably comes as no surprise when NFL trade reports list two running backs and two wide receivers as having workouts with the Cardinals.
At wide receiver, they lost Greg Dortch to injured reserve. Marvin Harrison Jr. missed Sunday’s game with a heel injury and Xavier Weaver missed Sunday’s game with a hamstring injury. Running back Trey Benson has participated in three weeks of practice, but there’s a chance he could return to injured reserve for the remainder of the season. Emari Demercado missed multiple games with a high ankle sprain.

With these picks, we’ll likely see news of at least one of these players being signed to the practice squad.
