The Arizona Cardinals have signed tight end Anthony Denham Jr. and linebacker Earl Okine to their practice squad, the team announced Tuesday.
Steve Keim said in an interview with Doug & Wolf on 98.7 FM Arizona Sports Station that the team would look for ways to upgrade their roster this week. The move also comes just a day after the Green Bay Packers reportedly signed a player off of the Cardinals’ practice squad, tackle Ulrick John.
Denham, 26, played college football at Utah but went undrafted. He played as a rookie with the Texans but missed 2015 due to injury and spent last season on the Eagles’ practice squad. He most recently was with the Eagles in the preseason.
Okine, 27, is a Florida alumnus who had five tackles and a tackle for loss with the Colts in 2015. He was on the Lions’ practice squad most recently until his release on Friday.

This should really bolster our ability to protect Carson Palmer.
My thoughts exactly, Cards now have serious issues with the O Line, and could have five linemen either out or playing injured this week.
So SK signs a TE who was injured in 2015 and a practice squad player last year, and another LB who just got cut from Detroit practice squad...smh..
Yes. They lose Ulrick John (who was quite serviceable in a fill-in role last season), sign a TE (who knows if he can block?) and a LB. That will all help CP stay upright and not dancing around to avoid a sack.
