The Arizona Cardinals on Wednesday placed lineman Jackson Barton on the injured reserve and re-signed offensive lineman Austen Pleasants to the practice squad, the team announced.
This comes days after Barton was elevated from the practice squad and made his first NFL start in the team’s 20-13 home loss to the Detroit Lions, where he suffered a toe injury in the fourth quarter and had to exit the game.
Prior to Sunday, Barton had 10 NFL appearances, including two for the Cardinals since 2023. He was a seventh-round pick by the Indianapolis Colts in 2019.
