The Arizona Cardinals have added a body to their depth chart at running back, signing Jonathan Dwyer to a one-year contract.
Dwyer, 23, spent last season with the Pittsburgh Steelers picking up 197 yards on 49 carries. He is a good blocker and should provide the Cardinals with a short yardage go to guy.

It looks like Arizona will indeed hand the ball to Andre Ellington on a regular basis.
