Running back Troy Hambrick was one of nine players released by the Cardinals on Monday. Hambrick, acquired in a trade with the Oakland Raiders a year ago, had not practiced this year because of a lingering foot injury that sidelined him late last season. Hambrick was acquired after Marcell Shipp was lost for the 2004 season with a severe leg injury. Shipp has returned and played well in last week's preseason victory over Kansas City.
