CB Antonio Hamilton activated

Joe Rondone-Arizona Republic

After missing the first four games of the season, the Cardinals activated Hamilton from the non-football injury list.

He suffered serious burns in a cooking accident at home before the season.

He will likely get limited action as the number three corner with Trayvon Mullen injured.

Hamilton had won the No. 2 corner job in training camp.

LB Nick Vigil to IR

Vigil injured his hamstring last week and was officially ruled out of this week’s game. He must now miss at least the next four games.

WR Andre Baccellia signed to active roster

Billy Hardiman-USA TODAY Sports

With the release of Andy Isabella and the setback of Antoine Wesley, the Cardinals used the roster spot created by the release of Maxx Williams to add Baccellia. He has appeared in all four games this season.

Matt Ammendola, Chris Banjo elevated from practice squad

Jay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY Sports

The Cardinals used their two standard elevations from the practice squad at positions of need. With Matt Prater out with an injured hip, Ammendola will handle kicking duties.

Banjo was elevated last week and gives the Cardinals a safety on the bench. They only have two on the active roster currently.
