The unfortunate part of having a practice squad is you can lose a player at anytime to another team. That’s exactly what happened to the Arizona Cardinals on Tuesday.
The Cardinals, who cut running back Elijhaa Penny at the end of the preseason and then signed him back to the practice squad, lost him to the New York Giants. The Giants added him to their roster on Tuesday.
Penny became a victim of numbers and in part, scheme. Last season and seasons in recent past, the Cardinals kept four running backs on the 53-man roster.
