Former Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement continues his tour around the NFL, signing with the Arizona Cardinals on Tuesday night, per NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero.
The Cardinals signed Clement to their practice squad after starting RB James Conner (ribs) and backup RB Darrel Williams (knee) left the team’s Week 5 loss to the Eagles with injuries. Rookie Eno Benjamin was the only Cardinals running back to finish the contest healthy.
Arizona marks Clements fifth stop in three seasons. After leaving Philadelphia, he’s struggled to find a home. Clement has made pitstops with the New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys, and Baltimore Ravens, but hopes that Arizona will provide the stability he has been missing.
Clement won’t be soon forgotten in Philadelphia after leading the Eagles in receiving in the team’s Super Bowl LI victory over the New England Patriots. Clement caught four passes for 100 yards and this unforgettable touchdown in the game.
Though he was just signed by the Cardinals, injuries to Conner and Williams could force him into action sooner rather than later.
