The Arizona Cardinals didn't waste much time filling the vacant spot on the roster left by Lance Long. Today they called Keilen Dykes up to the active roster and they brought back Onrea Jones to the practice squad. Dykes, who missed most of camp with a gimpy quad, didn't make the initial 53 man roster but was signed to the practice squad. Jones was cut by the Cardinals and landed on the Redskins' practice squad for a week before they released him earlier this week. Jones means that the Cardinals will keep eight receivers in their 'system' with six on the roster and two (Jones and Ed Gant) on the practice squad.
Dykes should receive quite a bit of playing time this week because Kenny Iwebema is not expected to play this week. Dykes and Alan Branch should be the primary backups at defensive end.

As much as I / we wanted Long to succeed
I think I like Onrea Jones better. I think he will be more consistent if called upon.
Never do card tricks for the group you play poker with.

NFL Europe will serve Lance Long well
Oh that’s right, NFL Europe is dead. Brilliant! UFL anyone?
We all leave footprints in the sands of time, just watch out for the discarded fish hooks!

It'll be interesting if anyone who's on an NFL practice squad will opt for the UFL
I heard somewhere that the UFL made sure that they’re salaries were more than the NFL practice squad rates in hopes of snagging a player or two.
Be careful....to a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Good news on Dykes
I think we really need depth on the d-line to be able to rotate guys in there.
