Baltimore Ravens quarterback Trace McSorley gets off their active roster and heads to the Arizona Cardinals following his signing. Trace will add more depth to the Cardinals quarterback spot amid the recent crisis as the starting quarterback Kyler Murray continues to suffer from an ankle injury.
The Cardinals continue to get hampered by the Kyler Murray injury, though losing just one game in his absence. Murray missed his third consecutive game of the season on Sunday during the 23-13 win over the Seattle Seahawks. During his absence, Colt McCoy has been holding on to the reins of the QB spot.
