Cardinals' Jalen Brooks: Signs to active roster
The Arizona Cardinals signed Jalen Brooks to the active roster Tuesday, Zach Gershman of the team's official site reports.Brooks had one more practice squad elevation before he needed to be signed to the active roster, but the Cardinals chose to ink a deal before that was necessary. The receiver played 47 offensive snaps in Week 15, accumulating one catch for 19 yards on three targets. He also racked up 132 yards in five kick returns. Brooks was likely deemed valuable enough to sign due to the persistent injuries to fellow receivers Marvin Harrison (heel), Xavier Weaver (hamstring) and Andre Baccellia (neck).

Jalen Brooks: Gets chance with Arizona
The Cardinals signed Jalen Brooks (knee) to their practice squad Thursday.Brooks spent the early part of the season with Dallas and got into the Cowboys' Week 5 win against the Jets as a practice-squad elevation, logging four offensive snaps and 17 special-teams snaps without getting any targets. However, Brooks landed on the practice-squad injured list due to a knee injury Oct. 22 before being cut with an injury settlement two days later. It appears he's past the knee issue given his new deal with Arizona, and Brooks will now try to work his way up to game action, though the Cardinals' wideout corps is currently fully healthy.
