The Arizona Cardinals announced running back Michael Carter has been signed to the 53-roster from the practice squad with current RB1 Trey Benson not practicing on Monday.
Additionally, running back D’Ernest Johnson was signed to the practice squad and the 21-day practice window has been opened for defensive lineman Bilal Nichols.
Arizona (2-2) moved Benson to its top rushing option last week after losing James Conner for the season.
Carter, who was elevated to the active roster ahead of Thursday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks, was put back on the roster on Monday with Benson not seen at practice.
In the first game without Conner, Benson registered eight rushes for 35 yards and had five receptions for 19 yards.

The 6-foot-3, 300-pounder had 10 tackles (six solo) in six games with the Cardinals in 2024.
Johnson was also added for Arizona running back depth after spending a brief stint on the Baltimore Ravens practice squad this season.
