Josh Johnson leaving Bengals practice squad to join Arizona Cardinals

Quarterback Josh Johnson is leaving the Cincinnati Bengals' practice squad to sign with the Arizona Cardinals' 53-man roster, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The move marks Johnson's 15th NFL team as he positions himself to potentially serve as the Cardinals' starting quarterback following severe roster turnover at the position.

Arizona's quarterback adjustments follow the trade of Jacoby Brissett to the Baltimore Ravens and a likely season-ending torn UCL suffered by Gardner Minshew. The 40-year-old Johnson will become the league's second-oldest starting quarterback behind Aaron Rodgers, though he joins an offense currently without top receiver Michael Wilson due to a season-ending neck injury.
