Injury Trey Benson has knee surgery, out 4-6 weeks
Placed on IR
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Oct 1, 1:13 pm

Arizona Cardinals
Injury update: Cardinals RB Trey Benson, who is being placed on injured reserve due to a knee injury, underwent arthroscopic surgery on his meniscus and now is expected to be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks, per source. (Adam Schefter on X)

FFToday's Take: Well, that escalated quickly. With Benson on the shelf, the Cardinals will likely turn to Michael Carter and Emari Demercado as their top two running backs. It's possible they could slide Carter into the early-down role and keep Demercado in the third-down, two-minute, pass-catching role. Both backs are waiver wire options this week but it's difficult to project either as more than a low-end RB2. Upcoming schedule for ARI is: TEN, @IND, GB, bye.


Injury Trey Benson may sit in Week 5
Knee injury
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Oct 1, 11:02 am

Arizona Cardinals
Another RB whose status for Sunday is now in question: Cardinals RB Trey Benson. Near the end of last Thursday’s game vs. the Seahawks, Benson banged his knee. It is not thought to be serious, but his status for Sunday now is in question. (Adam Schefter on X)

FFToday's Take: The Cardinals signed Michael Carter to the 53-man roster and D'Ernest Johnson to the practice squad -- a good sign that Benson is likely to miss this week. Emari Demercado played mostly third downs last week along with entire final Arizona drive against Seattle. Some kind of committee between Demercado and Carter is likely what we'll see this week against the Titans. We'll likely get a better idea on the workload split later in the week.


Injury Season-ending ankle injury for James Conner
Will require surgery
By: Mike Krueger | Sun Sep 21, 9:30 pm

Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals RB James Conner did in fact suffer a season-ending injury to his right ankle that will require surgery, per source. The injury is considered “severe”, even if the team does not yet know the full extent of the damage. (Adam Schefter on X)

FFToday's Take: Conner was tackled awkwardly in the third quarter and eventually carted off the field. His loss will be significant to the Cardinals offense as he was operating as their lead back. Trey Benson will take over that role with Emari Demercado working in as a change of pace option. Benson broke off a 29-yard run in this game but his other nine carries resulted in just 13 yards.
