TE Demetrius Harris returns from COVID list

Harris is back on the active roster after coming off the COVID list. He tested positive last week and returns after missing a game.
He gets a roster exemption until tomorrow, so the Cardinals did not have to make a corresponding move.

Kliff Kingsbury said long snapper Aaron Brewer broke his arm. He will miss many weeks and, while it has not been announced, he is surely headed to injured reserve. Nelson will take over for him but begins on the practice squad.
Nelson is in his 10th season in the NFL. He spent seven years with the San Francisco 49ers as their long snapper, and he worked with Cardinals punter Andy Lee. Lee’s final season with the Niners in 2014 was Nelson’s first, so they will not have to work that hard to get used to each other.

He has appeared in 11 career games and has three career receptions.

He has averaged 18.7 yards on 20 career kick returns. He is 5-11 and 186 pounds.
