Alameda Ta’amu Claimed Off Waivers By Arizona

Leave a reply

The Cardinals have claimed former Steelers 4th round draft pick Alameda Ta’amu off of waivers. Ta’amu was released by the Steelers yesterday after losing the battle for the backup NT spot to Hebron Fangupo.

Ta’amu was suspended by the team last fall and subsequently released after being arrested for DWI and other charges. The team signed him back to the practice squad last November where he spent the remainder of the season.

He missed a good deal of time during camp due to a hamstring injury, but looked promising in his preseason performance.

The team got some players back today, the most notable being Alameda Ta’amu, who was activated from the PUP list. Also returning to full participation today were Matt Spaeth, Nick Williams, Larry Foote, and Le’Veon Bell.

The following players did not practice today: Troy Polamalu, Larod Stephens-Howling, Plaxico Burress, Ross Ventrone, Terry Hawthorne, Jarvis Jones, DeMarcus Van Dyke, Cortez Allen, Steve McLendon, and Lawrence Timmons.

There was one new injury today during practice. Curtis Brown suffered an “ankle injury of some description” according to Coach Tomlin. Reports from practice were that he hurt his ankle while breaking up a pass during a two-minute drill. He was carted off the field and later seen using crutches.

Today, the team practiced in shorts, and tomorrow is a day off. Mike Tomlin said that he expects the number of men returning to participate in practice will increase on Wednesday.

This is great news for Ta’amu, who has missed all of training camp activities up to this point due to a hamstring injury.  Ta’amu’s return should add an interesting twist to the competition for the backup Nose Tackle position.
