Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Dan Chisena is embarking on a new journey with the Arizona Cardinals, as announced by the team. Chisena’s path to the Cardinals began last summer when he vied for a roster spot with the Steelers during training camp. Although he was ultimately released during roster cuts, he didn’t let that deter him. He later found himself on the practice squads of both the Minnesota Vikings and the Arizona Cardinals.
During his stint in Arizona, Chisena saw action in six games, even making appearances in two games after being elevated from the practice squad. Subsequently, he left Arizona and joined the Baltimore Ravens’ practice squad. As the postseason arrived, Chisena’s role expanded, as he became an integral part of the Ravens’ special teams unit, earning promotions for both of their playoff matchups.
Throughout his career, Chisena has primarily been utilized as a special teams contributor, showcasing his coverage skills along with his experience as a punt and kick returner. His return to Arizona aligns with the team’s objective of bolstering their wide receiver depth for the upcoming 2024 season.
Chisena’s journey underscores the resilience and adaptability required in the competitive landscape of professional football. Despite facing setbacks such as being released from the Steelers’ roster, he persevered and seized opportunities with other teams, ultimately making an impact on the field during crucial playoff games with the Ravens.
As Chisena transitions to the Cardinals, his role as a special teams asset is likely to continue, bringing his valuable experience and skill set to the team’s roster. The Cardinals’ decision to sign Chisena signifies their recognition of his potential contribution to their overall team dynamics, particularly in the realm of special teams.
