Former Baltimore Ravens quarterback Anthony Brown will join the Arizona Cardinals’ practice squad to replace Desmond Ridder, reports Arizona Sports’ John Gambadoro.
The Las Vegas Raiders signed Ridder off Arizona’s practice squad to add depth Monday after losing Aidan O’Connell to an injury.
Brown has appeared in two games as a pro with a start. He went 19 of 44 for 286 yards and two picks in a Week 18 loss to end the 2022 season with Baltimore.
He’s respectively spent time on the offseason roster and practice squad of the Raiders and Bills this season.
