Cardinals' D.J. Foster: Jumps from practice squad

D.J. Foster: Moves back to practice squad
Foster reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Foster fielded 13 special-teams snaps during Sunday's 20-17 loss to New England, but he again went without involvement on the offensive side. The 27-year-old has been deployed on offense only once in a game all season, generating nine scrimmage yards on two touches Week 9 against Miami. Given that he's been called up to the active roster for four consecutive games, he could very well be back in the mix Week 13 for a matchup against the Rams.

Cardinals' D.J. Foster: Jumps to active roster
The Cardinals elevated Foster to the active roster Saturday.
It's an interesting move, as the Cardinals already have four healthy running backs on the roster. The 27-year-old is rarely involved on offense, though, so he'll likely stick to special-teams coverage. Foster has recorded two tackles through five games.

Among Foster's five appearances in 2020, he's been utilized on offense only once, fielding five snaps while recording two yards on one carry and one reception for seven yards against Miami in Week 9. He goes back to the practice squad for now, but Foster has been activated for three consecutive contests.

Cardinals' D.J. Foster: Ascends to 53-man roster
The Cardinals elevated Foster to it's 53-man roster via the practice squad for Thursday's game against Seattle, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Foster was called up to the 53-man roster for the fifth time this season, as he's logged one carry rushing while putting in the rest of his work on special teams. With Kenyan Drake (ankle) expected to suit up Thursday, Foster will likely stick to a special-teams role for Week 11.

D.J. Foster: Heads back to practice squad
Foster reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, Alex Weiner of SI.com reports.
Foster joined cornerback Jace Whittaker in a trip back to the practice squad, after the two were activated for Sunday's thrilling 32-30 win over the Bills.

Cardinals' D.J. Foster: Brought up to active roster
The Cardinals elevated Foster to the active roster Saturday, Howard Balzer of SI.com reports.
This move hints that Kenyan Drake (ankle) may be on the wrong side of questionable, although coach Kliff Kingsbury maintains that Drake's status will be determined following pregame warmups. Foster likely will stick to special teams regardless of Drake's status.

D.J. Foster: Back down to practice squad
Foster reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday after registering one carry for two yards and one reception for seven yards during Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Dolphins, per the NFL's official transaction log.
The 26-year-old back offered his first offensive contributions of 2020 during Arizona's Week 9 defeat, as Foster had not garnered a single snap on the offensive side over his two other appearances of the season Weeks 1 and 2. It's notable that Foster got the nod over Eno Benjamin for backup RB work against Miami, as Benjamin was a seventh-round selection of the Cardinals in this past April's draft.

Cardinals' D.J. Foster: Shifts to active roster
The Cardinals elevated Foster to the active roster Saturday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Kenyan Drake (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Dolphins, so Foster will add experienced depth behind expected workhorse Chase Edmonds, although rookies Eno Benjamin and Jonathan Ward could have roles as well. Foster, who turns 27 years old this month, has played in 18 NFL games, recording 13 carries for 43 yards and 18 receptions for 135 yards.

Cardinals' D.J. Foster: Could handle backup role
Coach Kliff Kingsbury suggested Foster could serve as the Cardinals' No. 2 running back Sunday against the Dolphins, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
With Kenyan Drake (ankle) ruled out, Chase Edmonds figures to get the start and handle a large workload. The Cardinals have rookies Eno Benjamin and Jonathan Ward on their active roster, but it sounds like Kingsbury wants the more experienced Foster to be called up from the practice squad for Sunday. The 26-year-old running back has seen most of his NFL playing time on passing downs and special teams, taking 13 carries for 43 yards and 18 catches for 135 yards in 18 regular-season games.

Foster has been hurt for nearly a month, but he'll return to practice and continue working on the scout team. The Cardinals' active roster is set in the backfield, so Foster's chances of receiving a promotion are slim, barring an injury.

With KeeSean Johnson on the COVID-19 list, Foster filled the open spot on the 53-man roster. He played strictly in a special-teams role during Week 1's win over the 49ers, and he could handle similar duties in this Sunday's game against Washington.

Cardinals' D.J. Foster: Promoted to active roster
Foster was added to the active roster Saturday.

D.J. Foster: Garners practice squad spot
The Cardinals signed Foster to the practice squad Sunday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Foster played strictly on special teams over six games with the Cardinals in 2019, and he couldn't beat out rookie seventh-rounder for the No. 3 RB role behind Kenyan Drake and Chase Edmonds. If an injury surfaces, expect either Foster or Jonathan Ward to get promoted to the active roster.

D.J. Foster: Unable to make 53-man roster
The Cardinals cut Foster on Saturday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Foster played strictly on special teams in 2019, so with the Cardinals drafting Eno Benjamin in April, the 26-year-old Foster was let go. The Cardinals only have three running backs on the roster, and there are already injury concerns about Kenyan Drake (foot), so Foster could be a valuable practice squad add.
