Exits game with arm injury
Baccellia (arm) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Baccellia sustained the injury in the third quarter, and he's being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. He's contributed on special teams and on offense, so his absence means more snaps at wide receiver are available for Xavier Weaver and Greg Dortch.

Signed to Arizona's active roster
The Cardinals signed Baccellia from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.
Analysis: Baccellia opted to stay in Arizona as a member of the team's practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp in late August. He hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since 2023, but his addition to the active roster comes after the Cardinals placed fellow wide receivers Zay Jones (Achilles) and Simi Fehoko (wrist) on injured reserve. With Marvin Harrison (appendix) ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers and Xavier Weaver (ankle) listed as…read more

Staying in Arizona
The Cardinals signed Baccellia to the practice squad Thursday, Zach Gershman of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Baccellia has spent most of the past four years on the Cardinals' practice squad, though he has played in 13 regular-season games between 2022 (eight) and 2023 (five). He'll once again serve as organizational depth to start the year and will aim to see regular-season action for the first time since Week 13 of the 2023 season.

Waived by Arizona
The Cardinals waived Baccellia on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Baccellia saw a season-high 28 offensive snaps against Pittsburgh in Week 13, but he didn't log any stats or get any targets.

Sees season-high snap total
Baccellia went without a target while playing 31 of the Cardinals' 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Though his 46 percent snap share was by far a season-high rate for the 26-year-old receiver, he still has yet to draw a single look in the passing game through his five appearances with Arizona. Baccellia's playing time climbed Sunday while Michael Wilson (shoulder) and Zach Pascal (personal) were out, but if either or both wideouts return to action following Arizona's Week 14 bye, Baccellia will likely be in store for a significant reduction in snaps.

Baccellia, a second-year wideout, has appeared in two games for Arizona this year, playing a total of 11 snaps (five offensive and six on special teams) and returning one kickoff for 22 yards.
