With Pascal ruled out vs. Pittsburgh, Chisena may suit up for his first game as a Cardinal in his home state of Pennsylvania.
Chisena was born in Paoli, Pennsylvania and went to Penn State where he would play two seasons for the Lions.
Prior to coming to the valley, Chisena spent three seasons with the Minnesota Vikings for 27 games in total.
Furthermore, Chisena was signed by the Steelers to a reserve/future contract on Jan. 23.
However, Pittsburgh waived him on Aug. 23 before he was re-signed by the Vikings on Oct. 11 for a second stint.
Yet again, Minnesota waived him on Nov 21.
Without a team, the Cardinals decided to sign him the next day to their practice squad.
Overall, even though Chisena is listed as a receiver, he has 11 tackles in his NFL career but no offensive statistics to his name.
