Defensive tackle Ed Stinson won't be stuck on the Arizona Cardinals' injured reserve all season. But to play again in the NFL, the former Alabama standout needs another opportunity.
The Cardinals waived Stinson on Tuesday. He had been on injured reserve since Sept. 4.
Arizona waived Stinson with an injury designation when it reduced its roster from the preseason size of 90 players to the regular-season limit of 53 on Sept. 2. When Stinson cleared waivers, he reverted to the team's injured reserve.
Stinson suffered a hamstring injury at the Cardinals' third training-camp practice in July.
