Marion Grice is coming back to Arizona.

The former Arizona State University running back was signed by the Arizona Cardinals off San Diego’s practice squad, the team announced Tuesday.

Depth at running back became an immediate issue after Jonathan Dwyer was arrested on assault charges last Wednesday. Arizona added Jalen Parmele on Thursday but he had just one carry in Arizona’s win over San Francisco on Sunday.

Grice was the Chargers’ sixth-round pick in 2014 and was their leading rusher in the preseason, which included 79 yards on 17 carries against Arizona in the final preseason game. At 6-feet, 208 pounds, Grice will be the Cardinals’ tallest back but he’s among their trimmest. He’ll compete to be Arizona’s second back with Stepfan Taylor and may end up getting some third-down carries.

At ASU, Grice scored 39 touchdowns, the fifth most in school history despite playing in Tempe for just two seasons. He finished his Sun Devils career with 3,045 all-purpose yards.
