The Arizona Cardinals are filling out their practice squad with some familiar names

Not only did the Arizona Cardinals add one quarterback to their practice squad on Sunday, they are also reportedly adding another.  Former Denver Broncos quarterback Zac Dysert is on his way to the desert.

Adding two quarterbacks is an interesting way to go when you have only 10 slots available to you. At this point though the Cardinals have nothing to lose in bringing in two new quarterbacks to evaluate.

Dysert was drafted in the seventh-round of the 2013 NFL Draft by the Broncos.  Since then he has also been on the roster for the Chicago Bears, Houston Texans, Buffalo Bills, and most recently Miami Dolphins. Dysert has only been on the 53-man roster once, in 2013 as a member of the Broncos.

Dysert though is not the only one coming to Arizona.  Returning are some familiar faces.  Recently waived receivers Chris Hubert and Brittan Golden are coming back.

One of the more heated offensive competitions was at backup running back.  The Cardinals ended up keeping four but easily could have kept six if they had the room.  One of them, Elijhaa Penny, is coming back to the Cardinals.

These players clearly made an impression on the Cardinals coaching staff.  Cardinals fans could see the talent they had during training camp and preseason.  Keep in mind any practice squad player can be claimed by another team.  If another team does claim a practice squad player, said player must go on the 53-man roster.
