Cardinals elevate 2 WRs from practice squad to play vs. Bears

The Cardinals elevated receivers Dan Chisema and Kaden Davis from the practice squad for Week 16.

The Arizona Cardinals announced a pair of roster moves on Saturday to finalize the roster for their Week 16 road game against the Chicago Bears.

They elevated receivers Dan Chisema and Kaden Davis from the practice squad to the active roster.

Both will be eligible to play and probably will be active.

Receiver Marquise Brown was ruled out with a heel injury and receiver Greg Dortch is questionable to play with a shoulder injury.

The elevation of Davis suggests that Dortch will not play. Davis can return kicks and punts, and he can play in the slot.

Chisema’s elevation is likely for special teams. Zach Pascal normally plays a lot on special teams. He might end up playing more on offense.
