The Arizona Cardinals placed quarterback Gardner Minshew (elbow) and wide receiver Michael Wilson (neck) on injured reserve Tuesday and made a series of signings official.
Arizona signed quarterback additions Josh Johnson and Joey Aguilar and added an experienced receiver to its practice squad.
Phillip Dorsett, 33 has 2,001 career receiving yards, but his last catch came during the 2022 season with the Houston Texans. Since missing the 2020 season with a foot injury, Dorsett has made 27 catches. He had 124 catches in his first five seasons before the missed season.
Dorsett was a first-round draft pick of the Indianapolis Colts in 2015, and he has since spent time with the New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks, Jacksonville Jaguars, Houston Texans, Las Vegas Raiders, Denver Broncos and Atlanta Falcons.
His signing to the practice squad comes after Cardinals players Michael Wilson, Kendrick Bourne and Jalen Brooks all suffered season-ending injuries in consecutive weeks.
With tight end Trey McBride commanding the most targets in the passing game now led by Carson Beck, the rookie quarterback is thrust into the starting role with a wide receiver corps consisting of Simi Fehoko, Devin Duvernay and rookies Reggie Virgil and Harrison Wallace III.
Zay Jones, James Proche II and Shedrick Jackson join Dorsett on the practice squad receiver group.
Two members of the Cardinals’ practice squad, tight end Rivaldo Fairweather and running back Jermar Jefferson, were released among the many moves made.
