The Arizona Cardinals signed safety Jason Taylor II to the practice squad and released offensive lineman Marquis Hayes Jr., the team announced Tuesday.
Taylor played eight games with the Los Angeles Rams last season, recording four sacks as a seventh-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft from Oklahoma State. He was cut from the Rams’ practice squad on Wednesday.
At Oklahoma State, he appeared in 51 games and was a second-team All-American, first-team All-Big 12 selection and was honorable mention for the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year in 2022.
Taylor finished the 2022 season ranked third among all FBS players with six interceptions and led the team with 99 total tackles and 3.5 tackles for loss.
Hayes, a 2022 seventh-round pick out of Oklahoma, was waived by the Cardinals on Aug. 27, re-signed to the practice squad, and then subsequently released.
