The Arizona Cardinals lost Darnell Dockett for the season with an ACL injury. He went down in practice with the injury and was carted off of the field. The team is looking for help to fill his role on the roster and are looking toward free agency to find some help. They have called up former Pittsburgh Steelers DE Brett Kiesel and are bringing him in for a physical.

Kiesel would be a nice player to add onto the roster and he is familiar with coach Bruce Arians. Kiesel has been sitting in the unemployment line this offseason and waiting for an opportunity to come up. This could be his chance to join a solid roster and he could contribute immediately.
He will be in town for a physical and if he is passes he could be part of the roster later today and could pick up that playbook. Dockett is sitting on the sideline with the injury, but the team could have Kiesel in to contribute. He would be a solid.
