The Cardinals have elevated defensive lineman Ben Stille for Monday's game.

With Bilal Nichols going to Injured Reserve last week and Justin Jones and Darius Robinson already on IR, the Cardinals elevated Ben Stille from the practice squad for Monday night's game against the Chargers.

The team also brought up linebacker Markus Bailey for the game, with fellow inside linebacker Kyzir White questionable with a knee injury.

It will be Bailey's first game for the Cardinals. He played in 60 games for the Bengals over the past four seasons. He was released at the end of the preseason and brought back to the practice squad.

Stille appeared in five games last season for the Cardinals. He started this season on the practice squad in Arizona, was signed and played in three games with Tampa Bay, and then returned to the Cardinals' practice squad after the Buccaneers released him.

Jones and Nichols are out for the season. Robinson, who has been IR since the season began, has had his practice window opened but he has yet to go through any work. He has also been dealing with the death of his mother.

The moves also indicate rookie running back Trey Benson should be OK from his illness which caused him to miss Saturday's practice.
