The Arizona Cardinals added quarterback Trace McSorley to their 53-man roster last season, signing him off the practice squad of the Baltimore Ravens. When they did so, they actually accommodated the Ravens a bit when they were short on quarterbacks on the roster.
McSorley explained the scenario on the Breneman Shows Up show on YouTube.
“As we were practicing that week in Baltimore, that was the week Lamar was sick,” he said. “It kept him out Wednesday and he was still feeling sick on Thursday, so I was basically the No. 2 that whole week. There was a chance I was going to be elevated.”
