The Arizona Cardinals have been adding players at cornerback the last few weeks. They signed veteran Prince Amukamara and then added De’Vante Bausby. According to FOX 26 sports director Mark Berman in Houston, the Cardinals could add a former Pro Bowler who knows defensive coordinator Vance Joseph.
Veteran cornerback Johnathan Joseph, who is in his 15th NFL season and was recently released by the Tennessee Titans, is headed to Arizona, according to Berman.
NFL source: Former #Texans CB Johnathan Joseph, released this week by the @Titans, is headed to the @AZCardinals.

He seems to be suggesting that the Cardinals will sign him, but there is enough room for doubt that it perhaps could simply be that he is headed to the Cardinals for a visit or workout.
Joseph has 32 career interceptions and is now 36 years old. He spent most of his career with the Houston Texans and had his two Pro Bowl seasons in 2011 and 2012 when Cardinals defensive coordinator Vance Joseph was his position coach.
Cardinals starting cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick has been plagued by minor injuries but has not missed a game yet this season. Slot cornerback Byron Murphy is currently on the COVID-19 reserve.
It is something o keep an eye on in the next couple of days to see if anything more develops.
