Colt McCoy activated from IR

Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports

McCoy had been on injured reserve since Week 1 with a calf injury. Now he returns and the only question now is whether he will be the backup on Sunday against the Seahawks or if it will be Trace McSorley.

McSorley remains on the roster, giving the Cardinals three quarterbacks.

Kennard was released to make room for McCoy.

He tweeted that he might have played his last game with the Cardinals.

He had been released before the season but was on the practice squad and then signed to the roster. But with Myjai Sanders starting to get playing time, he becomes expendable. We will see if he lands on the practice squad again or if he lands with another team.

RB Corey Clement, WR Javon Wims

The Cardinals used their two standard elevations for Wims and Clement.

Clement will likely fill the role that Jonathan Ward had on special teams. Clement was signed to the practice squad early in the week.

Wims gets the call after Antoine Wesley had his season finish with an injury. Wims will give the Cardinals another receiver with length besides A,J. Green.
