Cards release Aaron Murray from practice squad, making Zac Dysert 3rd QB

The Arizona Cardinals announced they have released practice squad quarterback Aaron Murray, who was competing with Zac Dysert for the team’s third-string job. The announcement was made on Monday afternoon.

The Cardinals signed Dysert and Murray to compete for the third quarterback job after Matt Barkley, who previously was released Sept. 3 and signed with the Chicago Bears’ practice squad, signed on Sept. 4, one week before Murray was eventually released.

Now onto his sixth team, the 26-year-old Dysert will look to retain a spot on the team.

Dysert attended Miami (Ohio) and broke Ben Roethlisberger’s record for total passing yards (12,013).

Additionally on Monday, cornerback Trevon Hartfield was re-signed to the Cardinals’ practice squad after being released during the team’s final roster cuts on September 3. Hartfield joined the team as a rookie free agent from Southwestern Oklahoma State. As a first-team All-Great American Conference selection in 2015, he recorded five interceptions and 73 tackles.
