Clement had appeared in three games with the Cardinals this season, playing all of his snaps on special teams. During the 2022 season with Arizona, Clement saw some action on offense, starting their Week 18 season finale against the San Francisco 49ers due to an injury to James Conner. Clement posted eight carries for 23 yards and a touchdown along with three catches for 25 yards.

The 29-year-old back appeared in all 17 games with the Cowboys in 2021 after he was signed and released by the New York Giants prior to the start of the season. He played mostly a special teams role, appearing in 61% of the special teams snaps while playing just six percent of the offensive snaps.
