The Arizona Cardinals announced two additions to the active roster on Saturday a few hours ahead of their Week 17 Saturday night game on the road against the Los Angeles Rams. They elevated running back Michael Carter and safety Andre Chachere from the practice squad to the active roster.
The move to elevate Carter suggests that rookie running back Trey Benson, questionable to play with an ankle injury, will not play. Carter will likely have a large role offensively as starter James Conner, while expected to be in the lineup, is dealing with a knee injury and is not at 100%.
Safety and core special teamer Joey Blount was ruled out of the game with an injury to his ribs, so Chachere will fill that role.
With Chachere playing, recently acquired Jammie Robinson likely will be inactive.
