The Arizona Cardinals announced eight recently-cut players had re-signed to their practice squad on Sunday.
Offensive lineman Dorian Johnson, the Cardinals’ 2017 fourth-round pick, and inside linebacker Scooby Wright III were among the notable players who had cleared waivers after not making the 53-man roster and re-joined Arizona.
Second-year defensive back and 2016 sixth-round draft pick Harlan Miller, who played two games last season and recorded seven tackles, also remains with the Cardinals.
Wide receiver Carlton Agudosi, cornerback Ryan Lewis, tight end Ricky Seals-Jones, running back James Summers and defensive tackle Pasoni Tasini rounded out the list of players joining Arizona’s practice squad.
One omission to the list was Cap Capi, who led the team in tackles during the preseason and appeared to be challenging for the fourth outside linebacker slot behind Markus Golden, Chandler Jones and Kareem Martin.

Scooby over Capi?
Glad Dorian Johnson was picked up, I think he has the tools to be a good OG in a Power scheme, but he is just so raw & really struggled picking up AZ's offense. I think a year on the PS will be good for him.
Weren't they both the Cards first pick in their years? First round NFL picks at any position are expected to contribute.
Nke was a projected Top 10, some lists had him Top 5, before a series of wild personal off field issues dropped him back. (Spice Boy). He has Top 10 talent, and remains a super pick at 29 even if he doesn't pan out to be an All-Pro. Worth the risk.
O-lineman can be starters even if picked in the later rounds - 3-6.
Let's hope they both rebound. Cards need them this season, their last window to compete for a title.
Regardless, they are both highly paid first round NFL picks. Huge difference than free agents trying to make the Taxi squad.
