Linebacker Tanner Vallejo was making a push for a roster spot in the preseason but was ultimately released.


Now Vallejo, whom the Cardinals originally claimed off waivers last offseason, gets his chance to be on the 53-man roster, after the team promoted him from the practice squad Wednesday among a handful of roster moves.


The Cardinals also elevated outside linebacker Kylie Fitts from the practice squad and signed veteran defensive lineman Caraun Reid.


The Cards cut outside linebacker Pete Robertson to make room, already owning two open spots after Monday’s cuts of cornerback Tramaine Brock and running back Zach Zenner.
