Cardinals Place S Deionte Thompson On COVID-19 List, Release RB Khalfani Muhammad From PS

The Arizona Cardinals announced Tuesday that they’ve placed S Deionte Thompson on the COVID-19 list and released RB Khalfani Muhammad from their practice squad.

The COVID-19 list was created this summer for a player who either tests positive for or who has been quarantined after having been in close contact with an infected person or persons.

Players will remain on the list until they are medically cleared to return.

Thompson, 23, is a former fifth-round pick of the Cardinals back in 2019. He’s currently in the second year of his four-year, $2.9 million contract.

In 2020, Thompson has appeared in eight games for the Cardinals and recorded 24 tackles, no interceptions and two passes defended.
