Cardinals brought in RB Jermar Jefferson for tryout

Jefferson was a seventh-round pick of the Lions in 2021. He played seven games as a rookie, rushing for 74 yards and two touchdowns.

The Arizona Cardinals were missing backup running back Keaontay Ingram over the weekend. He suffered a neck injury that kept him from playing.

He might miss practice time this week.

Per Aaron Wilson, according to the league transaction report, the Cardinals brought in running back Jermar Jefferson for a tryout.

Jefferson was a seventh-round pick of the Detroit Lions in 2021. He played in seven games in 2021, rushing for 74 yards and two touchdowns.

He spent last season on Detroit’s practice squad and was waived with an injury designation in August.

He is 5-foot-10 and 212 pounds.

We will see if the Cardinals make a roster move in the next day or two.
