Cardinals add TE Richard Rodgers to protected practice squad players

With the addition of Rodgers, the Cardinals have now protected four players on the practice squad from being signed by another team.

The Arizona Cardinals protected three players on their practice squad on Tuesday. On Thursday, according to the NFL transaction report, they protected a fourth.

They added newly signed tight end Richard Rodgers.

Teams can designate up to four practice squad players as protected, keeping other teams from signing them to their active roster.

The Cardinals have two tight ends on their roster currently — Darrell Daniels and Demetrius Harris. Maxx Williams’ season was ended with a knee injury.

The Cardinals signed Rodgers because he has been in the league for many years — since 2014 — and could learn the offense quickly. If he does well this week, there could be a chance he is elevated or signed to the 53-man roster.

If not, tight end Ross Travis, one of the other protected players on the practice squad, could be elevated for the second week in a row.

With Rodgers protected, this is now the list of all four players they designated:

  • G Danny Isidora
  • TE Ross Travis
  • TE Richard Rodgers
  • CB Jace Whittaker

What the re-signing of TE Richard Rodgers means for the Eagles

With the re-signing of tight end Richard Rodgers on June 11, the pending departure of Zach Ertz seems closer than ever as Philadelphia heads towards the first training camp under Nick Sirianni.

The Eagles are filling in the depth chart around Dallas Goedert and Rodgers will likely start out training camp as Philadelphia’s No. 2 option at the tight end position.

In 2020, Rodgers had 24 receptions, 345 receiving yards, and two touchdowns for the Eagles, and there were moments where he was the most reliable player at the position.
