Arizona makes two roster moves ahead of Week 13 matchup with Rams

The Arizona Cardinals have elevated cornerback Divaad Wilson and defensive lineman Ben Stille to the active roster ahead of their Week 13 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams, the team announced Saturday.

Wilson, 26, has played in 10 games for the Cardinals this season, primarily on special teams. He has recorded three tackles and one pass breakup on defense.

Stille, 24, has played in nine games for the Cardinals this season, primarily as a reserve defensive lineman. He has recorded seven tackles and one sack.

The Cardinals are currently 4-8 and in last place in the NFC West. They will face the Rams (3-9) on Sunday at State Farm Stadium.

Wilson's elevation gives the Cardinals some much-needed depth at cornerback

The Cardinals have been hit hard by injuries at cornerback this season. Starters Byron Murphy Jr. and Antonio Hamilton are both on injured reserve, and Marco Wilson has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury.

Wilson's elevation gives the Cardinals some much-needed depth at the position. He has starting experience and has played well in a reserve role this season.

Stille's elevation adds depth to the defensive line

The Cardinals' defensive line has been one of the team's strengths this season. However, they have been without starting defensive tackle J.J. Watt for the last two games due to a calf injury.

Stille's elevation gives the Cardinals some added depth on the defensive line. He is a versatile player who can play both defensive tackle and defensive end.

Both Wilson and Stille could play significant roles on Sunday

With the Cardinals thin at both cornerback and defensive line, it is likely that both Wilson and Stille will play significant roles on Sunday against the Rams.

Wilson could start at cornerback opposite Trayvon Mullen Jr., while Stille could start at defensive tackle next to Zach Allen.
