Cardinals sign OL Rashaad Coward

The Cardinals add a versatile veteran offensive lineman who entered the league as a defensive tackle.

The Arizona Cardinals have added some offensive line depth. After hosting six players for a tryout Monday, they signed at least one of the players.

According to ESPN’s Josh Weinfuss, they have signed offensive lineman Rashaad Coward.

He has been in the league since 2017 when he entered the league as an undrafted rookie defensive tackle. Now a 6-6, 310-lb offensive lineman, he has played guard and tackle in the league.

He spent 2017-2020 with the Chicago Bears and 2021 with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He made the switch to the offensive line in 2018. In 2019 and 2020, he played 29 games for the Bears, starting 15 of them.

The move could be motivated by injuries on the offensive line. Reserve Justin Murray did not practice Saturday and starting left tackle D.J. Humphries has been out since the start of camp with a stomach illness.
