The Cardinals signed two rookies who tried out during rookie minicamp last week.

Receiver Chris Hubert played at Fayetteville State, a Division II school. Running back Elijhaa Penny played at Idaho.

To make room for the pair, the Cardinals released former Arizona running back Jared Baker, signed as a free agent after the draft, and linebacker Mike Reilly, who signed last January.
