Needing more experience at the cornerback position, the Cardinals signed Darqueze Dennard to a one-year contract on Thursday.
The 29-year-old played last season with the Falcons. He spent his first six years in the league with the Bengals after being selected in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft.
To make room on the roster, the Cards waived injured wide receiver Krishawn Hogan.
It was in Cincinnati where Dennard played for Cardinals defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, who was Dennard's defensive backs coach in 2014 and 2015.
