Cardinals designate Hunter Long to return from injured reserve

The Arizona Cardinals designated tight end Hunter Long and defensive lineman Zach Carter to return from the injured reserve on Wednesday.

The Cardinals also signed offensive lineman Jamaree Salyer to the practice squad. 

Long and Carter can now begin practicing, and the Cardinals have 21 days to activate them.

Long was initially placed on injured reserve after suffering a knee injury against the New York Giants in Week 4.

Long was acquired by the Cardinals in a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars in August. He had just two catches on four targets this season as he’s been primarily used as a blocking tight end and a special teams player.

Carter has yet to be active this season after being placed on injured reserve in August due to a knee injury. Carter registered 13 tackles and a forced fumble in four games with the Cardinals last season.
