Former Arizona Wildcat defensive tackle PJ Johnson signed with the Arizona Cardinals practice squad, the team announced Tuesday morning. 

Johnson had previously been on the Seattle Seahawks practice squad during training camp this season before being cut.

This will be Johnson's fourth team in two years after having other previous stints on the Los Angeles Chargers and Detroit Lions. The ex-Arizona DT was drafted by the Lions in the seventh round of the 2019 and has been bouncing around since. 

After being named an All-Pac-12 honorable mention in 2018 for the Wildcats, Johnson has yet to record an NFL regular season snap.
