The Arizona Cardinals acquired wide receiver Robbie Anderson in a trade with the Carolina Panthers, NFL Network reported Monday.
There was no immediate word on a return for the Panthers.
The move comes one day after interim Panthers coach Steve Wilks kicked Anderson out of a game against the Los Angeles Rams.
Arizona added another weapon for quarterback Kyler Murray on the same day All-Pro wideout DeAndre Hopkins returned from his suspension.
The Cardinals (2-4) have dropped three of their last four games, including Sunday’s 19-9 setback at Seattle. Murray has three touchdown passes and three interceptions in his last four contests.
Anderson, 29, did not have any catches in Sunday’s 24-10 loss to the Rams. Wilks sent him to the locker room late in the third quarter after Anderson got in a heated argument with position coach Joe Dailey.
“No one is bigger than the team,” Wilks said after the loss, which dropped Carolina to 1-5. “I’m not going to focus and put a lot of attention on one individual.”
Anderson has caught 13 of his 27 targets this season for 206 yards and one touchdown in six games. Over seven seasons with the New York Jets (2016-19) and Panthers, he has 368 receptions for 4,880 yards and 29 scores in 101 games (84 starts).
