Back with active roster

Analysis: Zach Pascal has been dealing with a hamstring issue and is listed as questionable for Sunday's affair, so Chisena's elevation will ensure some extra depth at wide receiver.

Analysis: Chisena played 13 snaps on special teams in the Cardinals' 35-31 win over the Eagles.

Elevated to active roster
The Cardinals elevated Chisena from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Chisena has gotten into two games for Arizona this season, logging one offensive snap and 27 special-teams snaps without recording any stats.

He figures to have a similar role Sunday in Philadelphia.

Elevated ahead of Sunday
The Cardinals elevated Chisena to their active roster Saturday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: The 26-year-old was elevated alongside Kaden Davis on Saturday, which could very well mean that the Cardinals are preparing to be without Marquise Brown (heel, already ruled out) and Greg Dortch (shoulder, questionable) in Week 16. Chisena has appeared in one game for Arizona this year, playing a total of 13 snaps (one offensive and 12 on special teams).

Lands future deal
The Steelers signed Chisena to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Analysis: Chisena signed a practice-squad deal with the Vikings after failing to make the team's initial 53-man roster and saw two elevations during the 2022 campaign, though 24 of his 26 snaps during those contests came on special teams. Minnesota didn't sign him to a reserve/future contract after being eliminated from the playoffs, making the third-year wideout a free agent. With his new deal, he'll be able to join the Steelers' organization and compete for a roster spot during the offseason.

Chisena, who'd been dealing with a lower leg injury during training camp, sustained a similar injury in Sunday's preseason loss at Las Vegas, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. He had one reception for 22 yards on two targets before the injury.
Analysis: Chisena is a key player on special teams, especially punt coverage. Chisena appeared in 11 games last year, playing all his snaps on special teams. He's a long shot to win any role on offense.

Analysis: Chisena will need to produce back-to-back negative tests at least 24 hours apart or complete a 10-day quarantine before he is able to return to team facilities. The wideout hasn't seen more than five offensive snaps in a game this season, so his potential absence shouldn't impact the Vikings' offensive gameplan.

Unavailable against Packers
Chisena (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Packers, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Chisena's positional shift comes with the context that he's been impressing on special teams throughout training camp. The Penn State product could have an outside chance at a spot on the final roster, though it's more likely that he could latch on to Minnesota's practice squad as a way to continue developing with the team.
