Arizona Cardinals make final roster move before Chicago Bears game – Sports Illustrated

Arizona Cardinals make final roster move before Chicago Bears game – Sports Illustrated

ARIZONA — The Arizona Cardinals promoted DL Ben Still from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of the Week 9 home game against the Chicago Bears.

He’s still played in five total games this season, though three came with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after they signed him off Arizona’s practice squad earlier this season.

Still has played in the last two games for Arizona, deflecting a pass and recording a sack as a rotation piece along a battered Cardinals defensive line that is without Justin Jones, Bilal Nichols and Darius Robinson.

From Chicago:

“The Bears on Saturday activated Larry Borrom from the injured reserve and Jake Curhan and cornerback Reddy Steward from the practice squad to the 53-man roster.”

The Cardinals walk into Week 9 after winning back-to-back games for the first time under Jonathan Gannon, though the head coach himself knows there’s a challenge ahead when it comes to the Bears:

“A good football team comes here. Offensively, the quarterback can make magic. (He is) a really good player (who) can beat you with his arm and his feet. They have guys with really good skills and a good scheme,” Gannon said.

“Defensively, I think (they’re) one of the best defenses we’re going to play honestly. They play extremely hard. They are very healthy. They tackle, pressure the quarterback, can cover and impact players at all three levels.. They have continuity on that side.

“They play with accelerated vision, as I would say. They take the ball away. We have work ahead of us. It will be a big challenge.”

Official inactives for both the Cardinals and Bears will be released 90 minutes before kickoff on Sunday.
