According to Matt Barrows of The Athletic, the Arizona Cardinals have signed defensive back Qwuantrezz Knight off the San Francisco 49ers practice squad. The move comes as the Cardinals place safety Budda Baker on injured reserve.
"Arizona was very interested in Knight after he was part of SF's cuts to get down to 53 players last month," Barrows noted in a tweet.
San Francisco initially signed Knight as an undrafted free agent out of UCLA in 2022. He had the second-highest coverage grade of all 49ers defensive backs during the preseason (81.4 compared to A.J. Parker's 85.9).

The San Francisco 49ers have started off the season hot, improving to 3-0 fresh off a Thursday Night victory over the New York Giants this week in their home opener.
