The Arizona Cardinals have played the majority of their season without starting quarterback Kyler Murray. Now, it sounds like the team has signed another veteran quarterback as they bolster the position late in the season.
Murray last played for the Cardinals in an Oct. 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans and will not return to the team this season as a result of an injury.
Since his injury, the team has opted to start veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett in his place. That will continue this week, but after one of the team’s reserve quarterbacks was signed to another team this week, the Cardinals had to make a move to ensure depth behind him.
This week, the Washington Commanders signed veteran quarterback Jeff Driskel to their active roster off the Arizona practice squad. In a corresponding move, the Cardinals found a replacement on Wednesday, signing veteran quarterback Logan Woodside to the practice squad.
Woodside will now serve as the team’s emergency third-string quarterback behind Brissett and Kedon Slovis.
While Woodside has never started a game in his NFL career, he does have a lot of history in the league.
Selected by the Cincinnati Bengals in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL Draft, Woodside has also spent time with the Tennessee Titans, Atlanta Falcons and Pittsburgh Steelers throughout his career. Woodside also played for the San Antonio Commanders of the Alliance of American Football (AAF) back in 2019.
Woodside has appeared in 14 games throughout his career. In those games, he has just one completion for seven yards on three passing attempts. He also has 14 rushing attempts for 10 yards throughout his career.
