Desmond Ridder: Brought back by Cardinals
The Cardinals signed Ridder to their practice squad Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
The 2022 third-round pick out of Cincinnati failed to make the Cardinals' initial 53-man roster, but he's now been brought back to the team's practice squad. Ridder threw for 2,836 yards, 12 touchdowns and just as many interceptions across his 15 regular-season contests with the Falcons last year. He's now expected to serve as Arizona's No. 3 quarterback option in 2024.

Desmond Ridder: Done in desert
The Cardinals are slated to waive Ridder on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The 2022 second-round pick was acquired via a trade with the Falcons in March, but Ridder couldn't beat out Clayton Tune for the backup QB spot behind Kyler Murray. The Cardinals could still bring Ridder back onto the practice squad spot if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Cardinals' Desmond Ridder: Ready to compete again
Ridder cleared the league's concussion protocols Monday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Ridder suffered a concussion during Sunday's preseason loss to the Broncos, so his time in protocols was short-lived. The Cincinnati product is slated to be the Cardinals' backup quarterback this season, and his quick return to full health should ensure he'll be in that position Week 1 behind Kyler Murray.

Cardinals' Desmond Ridder: Concussed in preseason finale
Ridder is in concussion protocol following Sunday's 38-12 preseason loss to the Broncos, per head coach Jonathan Gannon, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Ridder went to the locker room in the second half to be evaluated for a head injury, and the testing revealed a concussion. Prior to exiting the game, Ridder completed 10 of 16 passes for 111 yards and rushed twice for 25 yards. If Ridder is unable to pass the NFL's five-step concussion protocol prior to the Sept. 8 regular-season opener against the Bills, Clayton Tune would back up Kyler Murray.
