Arizona Cardinals sign DT Jay Toia to practice squad

The Arizona Cardinals have added defensive tackle Jay Toia to their practice squad as a depth move. This signing follows the promotion of cornerback Star Thomas to the active roster, which created an opening on the practice squad. Toia, who weighs 340 pounds and stands 6-2, had a brief stint with the Dallas Cowboys, playing in five games last season. He recorded three tackles and a quarterback hit during that time. The addition is timely as Roy Lopez is currently dealing with a groin injury and has not been practicing. The Cardinals continue to adjust their roster ahead of the upcoming games, focusing on bolstering their defensive line.
