Cardinals' Rashad Fenton: Joins forces with Arizona
Rotowire
The Cardinals and Fenton agreed to a one-year contract Thursday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
A sixth-round pick of the Chiefs in 2019, Fenton earned a Super Bowl ring as a rookie and spent the next two-plus seasons as a regular cornerback with K.C.'s defense. However, the team dealt him to the Falcons at the trade deadline last November, and he made just two appearances with his new squad, finishing with 28 tackles and two pass defenses in seven games. Upon joining the Cardinals, Fenton likely will compete with Antonio Hamilton for a starting spot opposite Marco Wilson (neck), barring further additions to the secondary.

Falcons' Rashad Fenton: Isn't listed on injury report
Rotowire
Fenton, who was dealing with a hamstring issue before being traded to the Falcons on Tuesday, isn't listed on Atlanta's injury report.
Before being traded to the Falcons on Tuesday, Fenton had missed each of his previous two contests with the Chiefs due to a hamstring injury. However, the 25-year-old wasn't listed on the Falcons' injury report Thursday, suggesting the issue is now likely a thing of the past. Fenton is expected to operate as the team's No. 3 cornerback for the remainder of the 2022-23 campaign behind A.J. Terrell (hamstring) and Darren Hall, but he could see a bump in snaps Sunday versus the Chargers if Terrell is unable to gain medical clearance before the weekend.
