TEMPE, Ariz. — The Arizona Cardinals have re-signed linebacker Monty Beisel and released tight end Dominique Byrd.

Beisel played the last three seasons for Arizona, then signed as a free agent with Kansas City. He played in three games for the Chiefs before being released on Sept. 29.
Beisel is in his ninth NFL season. He played for Kansas City the first four and was with New England in 2005 before signing with the Cardinals as a free agent in 2006.
Byrd was one of four tight ends on the Arizona roster and was inactive for all 10 games.
Arizona also re-signed defensive end Jason Banks and linebacker Pago Togafau to the practice squad on Tuesday, releasing fullback Jed Collins and defensive tackle Antoine Holmes.
