[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]PRESCOTT - Last spring, the Cardinals thought they had found a treasure in rookie free agent Ernest Shazor, a strong safety from Michigan. Shazor, however, hasn't reported to camp and has been placed on the reserved/did not report list.
"We're being patient with him," coach Dennis Green said. "He has some issues he's dealing with."
Shazor thought he should have been drafted and is still dealing with that disappointment, Green said. He also has lingering problems with a hamstring injury suffered in last fall's Ohio State game. [/font]
[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]He did not participate in Cardinals minicamps or off-season workouts.
The team isn't giving up on Shazor, Green said, but its patience is not limitless. It's possible Shazor could sit out this season. The Cardinals still control his rights, and placing him on the did-not-report list opens a roster spot.
I'm sorry if this has been previously posted but was curious as to what we should do with him. And can he still be activated this year.
