The Arizona Cardinals Football Club today announced that the team has signed offensive lineman Vitaliy Gurman to the practice squad. The signing took place today at the Dignity Health Arizona Cardinals Training Center in Tempe, AZ,” said the official release.
“In addition, the team has placed wide receiver Jeff Smith and running back Damien Williams on the practice squad injured reserve list and has released defensive lineman Jacob Slade and Quavian White from the practice squad.
“Gurman (6-3, 305) entered the league with Kansas City in 2022 as an undrafted rookie free agent from Toledo and has spent time on the practice squads of the Chiefs and Raiders in his career. He spent the preseason with Las Vegas. Gurman played two seasons at Toledo and has experience at guard, center and tackle.
The moves come just over an hour after the NFL’s trade deadline had passed, and though some big names stayed with their respective teams, the Cardinals jumped in on the action by trading quarterback Joshua Dobbs to the Minnesota Vikings.
Dobbs – along with a seventh-round pick – was traded for a sixth-round pick.
The Cardinals have lost five games in a row and are on the road against the Cleveland Browns this week.
