He was waived by the Indianapolis Colts earlier this season.

Now, the Arizona Cardinals have signed kicker Rodrigo Blankenship to their practice squad.

With Matt Prater still out and last week's kicker Matt Ammendola released after Kliff Kingsbury refused to trust him, Blankenship will likely get the call-up for Arizona on Thursday Night Football against the New Orleans Saints. 

Blankenship had a rocky season debut with the Colts in Week 1, missing a potential game-winning kick in overtime, while also sending two kickoffs out of bounds for penalties, which led to him getting cut. 

He'll get a chance for redemption this week.
