Former Arizona Wildcats All-American Scooby Wright is coming back to the state where he became one of college football’s top players.

Wright, who spent most of his rookie season on the Cleveland Browns’ practice squad, signed with the Cardinals on Tuesday and practiced with the team both Tuesday and Wednesday.

He will likely make his NFL debut Sunday, when the Cardinals host the New Orleans Saints.

“Time to work!” the linebacker tweeted Monday night. He flew to Phoenix on Tuesday morning to begin what the Cardinals’ official team website termed a “three-game tryout.”

The Cardinals have been hit hard by injuries, thinning their linebacking corps and special-teams units. They placed three players on season-ending injured reserve Tuesday, including starting linebacker Deone Bucannon.

Cardinals coach Bruce Arians wanted to sign Wright if he didn’t get drafted, which almost happened. Cleveland selected the linebacker with the 250th pick in the 253-selection 2016 draft.

Wright was inactive for the winless Browns’ first two games. They waived him Sept. 20 before signing him to their practice squad.
