FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- The Cardinals have filled out their coaching staff by hiring Tommie Robinson to coach running backs.

Robinson has spent the last three seasons coaching running backs at the University of Miami. He previously coached under current Bills coach Chan Gailey at Georgia Tech.

NFC West coaching staffs appear close to set for the season. The Rams have yet to hire a receivers coach and it's unclear who, if anyone, might replace Art Valero as the team's assistant offensive line coach. Valero left the Rams for the Seahawks this offseason.

The 49ers might need a new offensive quality control coach if Shane Day leaves to become the Bears' quarterbacks coach under coordinator Mike Martz.
