The Arizona Cardinals announced some roster moves on Sunday ahead of their practice in front of just season ticket-holders. They placed cornerbacks Star Thomas V and Jaden Davis on injured reserve with knee injuries and added a cornerback with the last name of Gilmore.
No, it isn’t five-time Pro Bowl and two-time All-Pro cornerback Stephon Gilmore. It is, though, his younger brother, Steven Gilmore.

Gilmore is 5-foot-10 and 175 pounds and most recently played in the UFL for the Birmingham Stallions. In 11 games with the Stallions, he had 48 total tackles, 10 pass breakups, one interception and one forced fumble.
