Cardinals Place WR Quez Watkins On IR, Sign WR Nate McCollum

Watkins, 27, is a former sixth-round pick by the Eagles in the 2020 NFL Draft out of Southern Mississippi. He finished out the final year of his four-year, $3.5 million contract with the Eagles.

The Steelers signed him to a one-year, $1.3 million deal last year but waived him coming out of the preseason before bringing him back to the practice squad.

He never appeared in a game with Pittsburgh before catching on with the Cardinals this offseason.

In 2023, Watkins appeared in nine games for the Eagles and caught 15 passes for 142 yards receiving and a touchdown.
