Byron Murphy, Devon Kennard on COVID list; Maxx Williams designated to return

The Arizona Cardinals announced some roster moves on Monday, none of which was a surprise, but it did reveal a question we all had. After the report two players had tested positive for the coronavirus, one player was known but the other was not.

It is cornerback Byron Murphy.

The Cardinals announced Murphy and linebacker Devon Kennard, who shared via social media he was one who tested positive, were both placed on the COVID-19 reserve while they recover. The move gives them two roster vacancies.

The Cardinals also designated tight end Maxx Williams for return from injured reserve, which allows him to practice. He has been out since after the season opener with an ankle injury. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury is hopeful Williams will be able to play this weekend but he is considered day-to-day for now.

Arizona also announced tight end Evan Baylis, released from the 53-man roster last week, has re-signed to the practice squad.
