The Arizona Cardinals placed two players on injured reserve on Saturday and had six players in for a tryout on Saturday. They have filled their two roster vacancies with two of the players they tried out.
The Cardinals announced they signed tight end Shawn Bowman and linebacker Eugene Asante.
Bowman is 6-4 and 249 pounds and has yet to play an NFL game. He went undrafted out of Rutgers in 2024 and signed with the Carolina Panthers. He spent time on their practice squad as a rookie. Most recently, he was in the UFL with the Orlando Storm. He played in 11 games and had seven catches for 53 yards.
Asante is six feet tall and 226 pounds. He went undrafted last year out of Auburn, signing originally with the Miam Dolphins. He did not make their roster and spent time on the practice squads of the Cleveland Browns and Atlanta Falcons. He played for the Houston Gamblers in the UFL in the spring. In nine games, he had 34 total tackles, four tackles for loss, two pass breakups and two forced fumbles.
Don't expect either to be guys who push for the roster. They fill the back end of the 90-man offseason roster and will see action late in the last preseason games the Cardinals have.
