Cardinals sign WR, RB before joint practices with Colts

The Arizona Cardinals made a pair of roster moves on Tuesday. After working out seven players before heading to Indianapolis, they signed two players — a wide receiver and a running back.

They announced the addition of receiver Daylen Baldwin and running back Hassan Hall.

Baldwin is a 6-foot-2, 212-pound receiver who has bounced around the league since entering as a rookie free agent in 2022, spending time with the Cleveland Browns, Atlanta Falcons and Minnesota Vikings. He has two career receptions.

Hall spent a week on Arizona’s practice squad last year. He is 5-foot-10 and 196 pounds and spent the 2023 preseason with Cleveland after entering the league with the Browns as an undrafted rookie free agent. Afer his stint with the Cardinals, he also spent time with the Giants and Chiefs.

They had one roster spot open after releasing linebacker Marquise Haynes last week. To make room for both players, they released receiver Jeff Smith.

The addition of a running back suggests perhaps there is an injury they are dealing with. James Conner and Emari Demercado both sat out last week’s preseason game. Demercado got hurt last week.

We will see if any of the other running backs misses time this week in practice.
