TEMPE, Ariz. (AP)—The Arizona Cardinals have bolstered their depleted running back corps by signing veteran Chester Taylor(notes).

The Cardinals were waiting for other teams to make roster cuts to find a backup to starter Beanie Wells(notes) after promising rookie Ryan Williams(notes) went down with a season-ending knee injury. Taylor, a 10-year NFL veteran, was released by the Chicago Bears on Saturday.

Arizona also added a pair of cornerbacks on waiver claims: Crezdon Butler(notes) from Pittsburgh and Korey Lindsey(notes) from Cincinnati.

To make room, the Cardinals released tight end Stephen Spach(notes), linebacker Quan Sturdivant(notes) and defensive end Ronald Taley.
