The Arizona Cardinals signed veteran wide receiver and return man Steven Sims to the practice squad on Tuesday, adding depth to an injury-ravaged position group.
Sims, 28, has played 53 NFL games since making his debut in 2019 with Washington. He has since spent time with Pittsburgh, Houston and Baltimore.
Sims played nine games last season between the Texans and Ravens, but he only spent 10 snaps on the field offensively. His role was to return punts and kickoffs. He averaged 27.9 yards per kick return on seven tries, and 5.8 yards per punt return on 21 attempts.
