Longtime New Orleans Saints long snapper Justin Drescher suffered an ill-timed injury in late August that led the team to turn to other options, but his unemployment in the NFL didn't last long.

The 29-year-old Drescher agreed to sign with the Arizona Cardinals on Monday, according to a league source.

Drescher fills a need for the Cardinals after their long snapper Aaron Brewer suffered a broken wrist in Arizona's Week 5 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Brewer was in his second season with the Cardinals.

Drescher started snapping for the Saints in Week 12 of 2010 and held the role in every game from 2011 through 2016.
