The Arizona Cardinals placed tight end Rob Housler on Injured Reserve and elevated receiver Kerry Taylor from the practice squad to the 53-man roster, it was announced Wednesday.

Housler's second NFL season comes to an end with the former Florida Atlantic product catching 45 passes for 417 yards. He injured his shoulder trying to make a catch Sunday against the Bears.

Taylor is an Arizona native who attended Arizona State University. He has been with the Cardinals since joining the practice squad on September 24, and previously spent time with the Packers, Patriots and 49ers.

He has yet to record a statistic in a regular season NFL game.

Also Wednesday the Cardinals announced they have re-signed defensive end Everrette Thompson to the practice squad. Thompson, who was an undrafted free agent out of Washington, was with the team during training camp.

    need to eval Housler
    When they drafted him they knew he was more of a receiving TE than a run blocking TE. Unfortunately he drops passes in traffic and a lot of wide open passes. I think Cards need to look into upgrading the TE position in FA or drafting a more of a complete TE in the draft. I understand Housler doesnt have a good QB, but, the oppurtunities he has had he hasnt capitalized on them. He drops A LOT.
