Cardinals' Devon Kennard: Joins Cardinals' 53-man roster
The Cardinals signed Kennard to their active roster Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Kennard's promotion isn't much of a surprise considering he was elevated to Arizona's active roster prior to both of the team's first two contests. Through Week 2, the 31-year-old linebacker has registered two total tackles, with one in each game thus far. Expect Kennard to continue operating as a rotational piece for the Cardinals defense when the team hosts the Rams on Sunday.

Devon Kennard: Cut loose by Arizona
Kennard was released by the Cardinals on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Kennard's release comes as somewhat of a surprise given his familiarity with Arizona's defense and overall playing experience. The ninth-year linebacker recorded 43 tackles, three sacks and two passes defended over 28 regular-season games during the past two seasons with the Cardinals. With Kennard gone, rookie outside linebackers Myjai Sanders and Cameron Thomas should step into larger roles in the team's defense.
