The Arizona Cardinals re-signed defensive lineman Zach Kerr on Wednesday, the team announced.
Additionally, the team made the release of defensive lineman Matt Dickerson official.
Dickerson has now had two separate stints on the Cardinals’ practice squad this season, one in early November and another these past two weeks.
The lineman originally got his start with the Tennessee Titans in 2018 as an undrafted rookie free agent out of UCLA.
