Update: Worley and OL Marcus Henry signed with the Cardinals
The Arizona Cardinals have a vacancy on their roster the day before veterans report to training camp. They released center Lamont Gaillard last week and did not fill the vacancy.
They are looking at the cornerback position, reportedly.
According to Adam Caplan, the Cardinals held a workout for Daryl Worley.
Worley was a third-round draft pick in 2016 by the Carolina Panthers has bounced around the league.
He spent two seasons in Carolina, the two seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders, then in Oakland. Then he began the 2020 season in Las Vegas but also played for the Dallas Cowboys and Buffalo Bills.
He is 6-1 and 215 pounds. He has started 54 of the 66 games he has played in the NFL.
The Cardinals could use more veteran competition. Right now, the three cornerbacks set to play on defense are Byron Murphy, Malcolm Butler and Robert Alford. They added Darqueze Dennard for mandatory minicamp, but after him, there are rookies or players with only one year of experience in the league.
Worley, if signed, would add competition so the Cardinals aren’t forced to rely on one of their rookies in 2021.
