Cardinals sign QB Dixon to practice squad, punter Zastudil on injured reserve

Published February 05, 2015

The Arizona Cardinals have signed quarterback Dennis Dixon to their practice squad and ended punter Dave Zastudil's season by placing him on injured reserve with a groin injury.

Dixon was signed with the Cardinals' quarterback situation uncertain. Carson Palmer is coming back from a nerve problem in his shoulder and backup Drew Stanton is recovering from a concussion. Neither may be available Sunday against Washington. That leaves rookie Logan Thomas as the only healthy quarterback on the 53-man roster.

As expected, Arizona placed outside linebacker Matt Shaughnessy on the injured reserve designated to return list. Shaughnessy, with cartilage damage in his knee, will be eligible to play again when the Cardinals play Kansas City on Dec. 7.

The Cardinals elevated punter Drew Butler from the practice squad.
