The Arizona Cardinals announced a small roster move for the practice squad on Monday as they returned to the practice field for bonus work coming off their bye week.
After he had a visit last week, the Cardinals announced the addition of safety Andre Chachere, who spent all last season with the team and even started five games.
The Cardinals claimed him off waivers when he was cut by the Philadelphia Eagles in May 2023. Last season, he played in 17 games, starting five, logging 30 total tackles and three pass breakups.
He spent this past offseason with the team before being part of the final roster cutdown to 53 players. He spent time earlier this season on the practice squad of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
This is actually Chachere’s fourth stint with the Cardinals.
Before he spent last year with the team, he originally joined the Cardinals on their practice squad in September 2019, was released in October, then signed to the active roster in December 2019 off Carolina’s practice squad. He was cut in May 2020 before spending 2021 and 2022 with the Philadelphia Eagles.
He gives the Cardinals safety depth, especially for special teams, as Jalen Thompson and Joey Blount were not at practice on Monday.
