Already down starting tight end Maxx Williams, the Arizona Cardinals lost replacement Darrell Daniels to a hamstring injury on Sunday in a 37-14 win against the Cleveland Browns.
Arizona also lost nose tackle Rashard Lawrence to a calf injury. Neither player returned to the game.
The Cardinals turned to tight end Demetrius Harris with Daniels sidelined and also had Ross Travis available. Travis was elevated to the active roster from the practice squad on Saturday.
The team did not have newly acquired tight end Zach Ertz eligible to play on Sunday because he participated in a Thursday Night Football outing for his former team, the Philadelphia Eagles, in Week 6 before being traded.
