The Cardinals have designated defensive lineman Zach Carter and tight end Hunter Long to return from injured reserve, the team announced Wednesday.
Both players will practice with the team Tuesday, and the Cardinals can activate them to the 53-man roster at any time during the next 21 days.

Carter’s leg was rolled up in the Hall of Fame Game, injuring his knee. He joined the Cardinals last year and played four games, totaling 13 tackles.
With Roy Lopez nursing a toe injury, Carter could quickly make his way back to the defensive line rotation.
The Cardinals lost Long after a collision on a special teams play against the Giants in Week 4 njured his knee.
The Cardinals promoted Teagan Quitoriano from the practice squad to fill his role in 13 personnel packages. With the team parting ways with Rivaldo Fairweather from the practice squad earlier this week, Long might be able to return sooner than later.
Long had two receptions for 15 yards after the Cardinals acquired him from the Jaguars.
In addition, the team has signed offensive lineman Jamaree Salyer to the practice squad.
