At the time of publishing, the Arizona Cardinals had not announced it, but the team has added a veteran defensive lineman a few days before its preseason opener.
According to his agent, defensive tackle Jack Crawford signed with the Cardinals. Tuesday’s NFL transaction report showed he had a tryout with the team.
The Cardinals did announce a roster move via social media. They released tackle Ryan Pope, who signed with the team just last week.
Crawford has been in the league since 2012.
He was a fifth-round draft pick of the Las Vegas Raiders in 2012 and he has played for the Raiders, Dallas Cowboys, Atlanta Falcons and, most recently, the Tennessee Titans.
Last year with the Titans, he played in all 16 games, starting nine times. He had 28 tackles, two sacks, 10 quarterback hits and a forced fumble.
With the number of defensive lineman workouts and the signing of both Crawford and Corey Peters, it raises questions about the health of the unit.
His best season was in 2018 with the Falcons. He had 35 tackles, six sacks a forced fumble and an interception.
He is almost 33 years old and listed at 6-5 and 288 lbs.
