WR Antoine Wesley returns from COVID reserve

After making the team out of training camp, Wesley tested positive for the virus and has not yet played.

The Arizona Cardinals announced a pair of minor roster moves Tuesday. Receiver Antoine Wesley was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list. He had tested positive for the virus after making the roster.

The Cardinals also released kicker Matt McCrane from the practice squad.

McCrane was signed last week.

Wesley’s return gives the Cardinals six receivers on the roster. He made the team after have a strong training camp and preseason, and with his size — he is 6-4 — he gives the Cardinals something extra from the reserve receivers they don’t otherwise have — length.

The Cardinals get a roster exemption for Wesley until Thursday.
