Bercovici spent training camp with the San Diego Chargers before the team waived him in early September. The former Sun Devil’s most notable performance came in an Aug. 19 preseason game against Arizona, where he completed 9-of-13 passes for 108 yards.
At ASU, Bercovici finished his career with a senior season of 30 touchdowns and nine interceptions to go along with 3,860 passing yards with a completion percentage of 60.
Dobson and Krause are notable with the Cardinals potentially wanting to fill their receiver depth chart following the season-ending ACL tear to Jaron Brown’s knee.
After his career at Marshall, Dobson was a 2013 second-round pick who was cut by New England this September. He appeared in 24 games for the Patriots over the last three seasons, doing most of his damage as a rookie by tallying 519 receiving yards and four touchdowns in 12 games.
Krause, a second-year player out of Vanderbilt, played two games last year for the Philadelphia Eagles and caught two passes. He spent time with the San Diego Chargers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers this year.
Gooden played his first two seasons, 2013-14, with the Tennessee Titans, racking up 36 tackles in 24 games. In 2016, he played in one game with three tackles for the Detroit Lions.
