The Arizona Cardinals signed offensive lineman Rashaad Coward to the 53-man roster off their practice squad on Tuesday and released kicker Tristan Vizcaino.
Vizcaino signed before the Cardinals faced the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday and made two field goals and all three extra-point attempts in the 27-17 win.
In a trio of practice squad moves Tuesday, Arizona additionally re-signed defensive lineman Michael Dogbe and released offensive lineman Sage Doxtater, as well as linebacker Blake Lynch.
Arizona had released Dogbe last Thursday.
