Foot injury puts Hambrick on IR

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Arizona Cardinals backup running back Troy
Hambrick will miss the rest of the season with an injured foot.

The Cardinals placed him on the injured reserve list Wednesday
and signed Damien Anderson to the active roster.

Hambrick injured his foot Sunday in the Cardinals' 35-10 loss at
Carolina.

Hambrick had appeared in all 10 games as a backup to Emmitt
Smith, with 63 carries for 283 yards and a touchdown. It was the
second stint for Hambrick as Smith's backup. He filled the same
role with Dallas.

Hambrick and starting defensive end Peppi Zellner were acquired
in a trade with Oakland on Aug. 31. One reason for the trade was
that Arizona had lost backup running back Marcel Shipp for the
season with a broken leg in training camp.

Anderson was released by the Cardinals in their final roster
cuts on Sept. 5. He had spent two seasons with Arizona after
signing as a rookie free agent out of Northwestern. Anderson had 42
carries for 133 yards and nine catches fo 72 yards in his previous
time with Arizona.
