Seeking depth to the defensive line, the Cardinals signed a pair of veterans on Friday.
Antwaun Woods, formerly of the Titans, Cowboys and Colts, and Christian Ringo, who has spent time with six NFL teams, each inked one-year deals.
Given the heavy rotation of the defensive line — and the likelihood veterans like J.J. Watt will play little or not at all in the preseason — extra bodies make sense. And both Woods and Ringo are 300 pounders who can play on the interior, a spot for which the Cardinals need players. (Watt said he was taking a veterans day off of practice on Friday.)
To make room on the roster, the Cards released tight end David Wells and defensive lineman Matt Dickerson.
Woods, a one-time undrafted rookie in 2016, split time on the Colts’ active roster and practice squad last season, playing in seven games before going on injured reserve in December. Ringo, a sixth-round pick of the Packers in 2015, played in a career-high 14 games with the Saints last season.
