The Arizona Cardinals elevated cornerback Divaad Wilson and defensive lineman Ben Stille to the active roster from the practice squad ahead of a Week 8 matchup against the Miami Dolphins, the team announced Sunday.
With Sean Murphy-Bunting out with a neck injury, Wilson provides depth for the Cardinals at the cornerback position.
Wilson, 24, played in two games for the Cardinals last season and made one start. The cornerback made his NFL debut in Arizona’s 37-14 Week 12 loss to the Los Angeles Rams last year and recorded one tackle.
He then tallied four tackles in Arizona’s 24-10 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers the following week.
Wilson went undrafted in 2023 after a college career at Georgia and UCF.
The Cardinals signed him to the active roster on Jan. 5, before he was waived on Aug. 27 and later re-signed to the practice squad.

Stille will again add depth to the Cardinals’ defensive line after defensive lineman Roy Lopez was ruled out on Friday and Bilal Nichols was placed on injured reserve last week. The Cardinals will also be without defensive linemen Justin Jones and Darius Robinson. Both Nichols and Jones are out for the year while Robinson won’t be activated off of injured reserve this week as he continues to work through his calf injury and personal reasons.
Stille, 26, went undrafted in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Nebraska. The former Cornhusker has played in 16 games for four different teams (Miami Dolphins, Cleveland Browns, Cardinals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers). Last season, he played in five games for the Cardinals.
The Cardinals waived Stille on Aug. 27 before he was re-signed to the practice squad. The Buccaneers signed him on Sept. 6, and he played in three games for Tampa Bay this season before being waived.
Stille was also elevated by the Cardinals for Monday’s win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The defensive lineman sacked Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert late in the second quarter to help hold the Chargers to a field goal on their last drive of the half.
