The Arizona Cardinals signed kicker Joshua Karty to the active roster off the Los Angeles Rams’ practice squad on Tuesday, and in keeping Chad Ryland, they have two kickers on the team.
Arizona also signed cornerback Kalen King off the Carolina Panthers’ practice squad and placed cornerback Garrett Williams and Walter Nolen III on injured reserve.
Head coach Jonathan Gannon announced on Monday that Williams (Achilles) and Nolen (knee) were out for the season.

Karty played in all 17 games for the Rams as a rookie in 2024 and made 85% of his field goals. After a rough start to this season, Karty was waived by the Rams in November, as Harrison Mevis has taken over the starting job.
He now joins Ryland, who missed a field goal in two of the last three games. Ryland is 23-for-31 this season, and his 74% hit rate ranks 36th in the NFL among 39 kickers.
Karty is last at 66.7%, having made 10 of 15 field goals this year.
He is only 23 years old, and the Cardinals will give him a look with two weeks left this season.

King is a second-year pro who made his NFL debut this season, receiving seven special teams snaps for the Panthers on Nov. 30.
The Green Bay Packers drafted him in the seventh round of the 2024 draft out of Penn State, but he did not make the team out of camp and has been a practice squad player for the most part since then.
King was a Second-team All-Big Ten Conference member in 2023 and measured at 5-foot-11, 191 pounds at the scouting combine. He is 22 years old.
Arizona’s secondary has been banged up all year, as cornerbacks Darren Hall and Max Melton along with safety Jalen Thompson missed Sunday’s game against Atlanta due to injuries.
