The Cardinals elevated Ryland from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers.
Matt Prater (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday, so the addition of Ryland provides much-needed insurance in case Prater is unable to go. While Prater was sidelined last week versus San Francisco, Ryland stepped in at kicker and went 3-for-4 on field-goal tries, with his lone miss being a blocked 45-yard attempt. Ryland's elevation Saturday could be a sign that Prater will be held out again Sunday, though that may not be confirmed until Arizona releases its inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff.
