The Arizona Cardinals announced some roster moves leading up to their game Sunday on the road against the Denver Broncos. They get back a starter on the offensive line.

The Cardinals reinstated right guard Will Hernandez to the active roster, activating him from injured reserve. He had missed the last four games with a strained pec. He will return to the starting lineup against the Broncos.

The Cardinals also announced two standard elevations from the practice squad. They elevated cornerback Nate Hairston and defensive lineman Manny Jones.

Jones is an undrafted rookie who signed with the Cardinals in the offseason. He played well in the preseason. He has appeared in one game this season.

Hairston has been on the practice squad since September. He has been in the league since 2017. His presence will likely be needed because cornerback Byron Murphy has been ruled out and both Antonio Hamilton and Marco Wilson are questionable to play.
