Murray has only appeared in two NFL games in his career but he has more league experience than the other two backup tackles currently on the Cardinals roster. Toth is a rookie, as is seventh-round pick Joshua Miles.

Murray entered the league as an undrafted rookie with the Denver Broncos in 2016. The 6-foot-5, 315-pounder has spent time with the Broncos, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Cincinnati Bengals and Raiders.

He appeared in two games with Oakland last season.

The Cardinals got to see him up close in the preseason, as they faced the Raiders. Murray played 24 snaps in that game.
