Joins Arizona's practice squad Baccellia signed with Arizona's practice squad Wednesday, Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports reports.

Impact Baccellia signed to Arizona's active roster this past Saturday but was subsequently waived Monday after suiting up for Sunday's 31-24 loss to Baltimore. After passing through waivers unclaimed, the wide receiver has been added to Arizona's practice squad. He played eight snaps against the Ravens and returned one kickoff for 22 yards, so Baccellia could be a candidate to be elevated for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Let go by Arizona The Cardinals waived Baccellia on Monday, Howard Balzer of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact Baccellia signed to the Cardinals' active roster Saturday with Greg Dortch (ankle) inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

OCTOBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Signed to Arizona roster The Cardinals signed Baccellia off their practice squad Saturday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Baccellia was cut by the Cardinals ahead of the 53-man roster deadline at the end of training camp, but he elected to join the team's practice squad Aug. 31. The undrafted wide receiver out of Washington made eight appearances for Arizona last season and caught seven of 10 passes for 45 yards.

OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Signed to active roster The Cardinals signed Baccellia to their active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Baccellia has already played in six games for Arizona this season, including in each of the team's first five contests. He was waived in late November and subsequently re-signed to the Cardinals' practice squad, and he now re-joins the active roster. Most of his opportunity during the campaign has come with DeAndre Hopkins out of action, and that will again be the case Sunday with Hopkins out due to a knee injury. Still, Baccellia has just five catches for 32 yards on the campaign, so he isn't likely to play a key role against Atlanta.

Cardinals sign WR Andre Baccellia from practice squad, elevate 2 others The add WR Andre Baccellia, LS Hunter Bradley and S Josh Thomas to the active roster to face the Falcons.

DECEMBER 31, 2022 • USATODAY.COM

Rejoining Cards' practice squad The Cardinals re-signed Baccellia to the practice squad Wednesday, Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports reports.

Impact Baccellia was signed to Arizona's active roster for the third time this season ahead of Sunday's loss to the Chargers, and he caught one pass for seven yards on his lone snap in this contest. However, the wideout was once again waived Monday, and, after previously being elevated from the practice squad for two of the Cardinals' games earlier this season, he will be eligible for one more activation with the team in 2022. With the team on bye Week 13, Baccellia likely won't have much value as an emergency depth option if wideouts Rondale Moore (groin) and Greg Dortch (thumb) are available to play against New England on Monday, Dec. 12.

DECEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Waived by Arizona Arizona waived Baccellia on Monday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Baccellia has made six appearances for Arizona this season, totaling five receptions on six targets for 32 yards. The wideout was elevated from the practice squad for Week 12 with Rondale Moore (groin) and Greg Dortch (thumb) out, but the Cardinals' waiving Baccellia suggests both of those wideouts will be back following Arizona's Week 13 bye. Urban suggests that if Baccellia clears waivers, the Cardinals will likely re-sign him to their practice squad.

NOVEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Comes up from practice squad The Cardinals signed Baccellia of their practice squad Saturday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Impact Baccellia was active for each of Arizona's first five games of the season, hauling in four of six targets for 25 yards. Since then, he's resided on the practice squad, but he'll get another chance to get in the mix Sunday against the Chargers. Rondale Moore (groin) already has been ruled out, while Greg Dortch (thumb) will be a game-time decision, so Baccellia will be among the potential wide receivers available along with Pharoh Cooper behind DeAndre Hopkins, Marquise Brown, A.J. Green and Robbie Anderson.

Signs with practice squad The Cardinals signed Baccellia to the their practice squad Thursday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact Baccellia has gone back-and-fourth between the Arizona's active roster and their practice squad all season long, so this move doesn't come with much surprise. The 25-year-old has appeared in all five games so far in 2022 for the Cardinals, totaling four receptions for 25 yards in that span. With star receiver DeAndre Hopkins set to return Week 7 from his suspension, Baccellia is expected to have a difficult time competing for snaps moving forward, barring any injuries to the team's WR corps.

OCTOBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Signs to active roster Arizona signed Baccellia to its active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus Philadelphia.

Impact The Cardinals had already used their three standard elevations on Baccellia, so they decided to officially promote him to their active roster ahead of Week 5. The 175-pound wideout has caught four of six targets for 25 yards through three games in 2022.

OCTOBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Moves back down to practice squad Baccellia reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, per Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com.

Impact Baccellia was elevated ahead of Sunday's win over the Panthers, though he did not record a target while playing six of Arizona's 79 offensive snaps. The 175-pound wideout also played three special-teams snaps Week 4, and he will be available for one more game-day activation from the Cardinals' practice squad this season.

OCTOBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated to active roster Baccellia was elevated to the active roster Saturday for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact If active Sunday, Baccellia will have played in each of the Cardinals' first four games. He has tallied two receptions in each of the last two contests, totaling 25 total yards. With A.J. Green (knee) ruled out, Baccellia could serve a depth role among Arizona's receiving corps again.

OCTOBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Heads back to practice squad Baccellia reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Baccellia played in the Cardinals' first two games of the season before being waived and signing with the team's practice squad last Wednesday. He was ultimately elevated ahead of Sunday's loss to the Rams, hauling in two of his four targets for 13 yards while playing 26 of Arizona's 83 offensive snaps. However, all of this production came after starting wideout A.J. Green (knee) was forced to exit, and Baccellia's usage as an emergency backup will be tied to injuries moving forward.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Will be active vs. Rams Arizona elevated Baccellia from its practice squad Saturday for Week 3.

Impact This will be the third consecutive week Baccellia is active for the Cardinals and the last time he's eligible to be elevated from the practice squad before he would have to be signed to the team's active roster in order to suit up. The 25-year-old wideout has caught both of his two targets for 24 yards through two games.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Back with Cards The Cardinals signed Baccellia to their practice squad Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Baccellia received his first NFL action Week 1 and hauled in the first two targets of his career (for 12 yards) Week 2, but Arizona opted to waive him Tuesday. One day later, though, he's back with the team and will be eligible for elevation from the practice squad, which may come to pass Sunday against the Rams with the status of Rondale Moore (hamstring) again up in the air.

Ruled out Friday Baccellia (ankle) will not return to Friday's preseason matchup in Cincinnati.

Impact Baccellia was unable to put any weight on his right leg after going down with an apparent ankle injury, according to Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site. As a result, the Cardinals likely will turn to Andy Isabella, Marcell Ateman and Jontre Kirklin for increased snaps Friday night.

Time up in New England Baccellia was cut by the Patriots on Saturday, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

Impact Baccellia only spent a week with the Patriots before being cut, coming over from the Chiefs this offseason. It's likely that the undrafted free agent out of Washington will earn a practice squad spot with the Patriots or elsewhere around the league.
