Goes for over 100 total yards Demercado took four carries for 64 yards while catching three of four targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 44-22 loss to Seattle.

Impact Bam Knight (ankle) started Sunday's contest and led Arizona's backfield with 10 carries before exiting late due to injury. Demercado was already having the more-productive day, although over half of his 100-plus yards from scrimmage came in garbage time. The TCU product could be in line to start against the 49ers next Sunday if Knight's injury proves to be serious. Demercado will also have to contend with the potential return of Trey Benson (knee) from injured reserve, but the former is currently the healthiest option out of Arizona's backfield heading into Week 11.

Arizona's Jacoby Brissett earns another start at QB after stellar play; Murray's status unclear

Jacoby Brissett’s excellent quarterback play has given the Arizona Cardinals’ season new life

NOVEMBER 5 • Associated Press

Starts in return from injury Demercado (ankle) took 14 carries for 79 yards and lost one yard on his only reception in Monday's 27-17 win over Dallas.

Impact Demercado used the Cardinals' bye week to fully recover from an ankle injury that wound up costing him just one contest. The 26-year-old jumped right back atop the running back depth chart, earning the start while leading Arizona in backfield production. Bam Knight -- who had been filling in as starter in Week 7 -- was still involved with 47 yards gained on 11 combined touches, but Demercado came out of the contest looking like the superior fantasy option. That said, Trey Benson (knee) is eligible to be activated from injured reserve against the Seahawks in Week 10, although it is currently unclear if he is physically ready to. Benson's eventual return should push Demercado back into a change-of-pace role, but the latter should maintain fantasy value until that day comes.

Good to go Week 9 Demercado (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Cowboys, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Demercado was limited by an ankle issue in the first two practices of the week but he will avoid an injury tag for Week 9 after logging a full practice Saturday. Per Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site on Saturday, head coach Jonathan Gannon said that Bam Knight will be the first running back to handle carries Monday but reiterated that he'll lean more heavily on whoever out of Knight, Demercado or Michael Carter is most effective as the game progresses.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Another limited session Demercado (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Friday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Demercado has cobbled together back-to-back capped sessions to begin the week as he seeks his first game action since he suffered a left ankle injury Week 6 in Indianapolis. He'll have one more chance to practice in full Saturday, or else risk heading into Monday's contest at Dallas with a designation. If Demercado is able to return to action Week 9, he'll be in the mix for touches behind the backfield tandem of Bam Knight and practice-squad member Michael Carter.

OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in return to practice Demercado (ankle) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Impact Demercado thus logged his first on-field work since he injured his left ankle Week 6 at Indianapolis. He proceeded to sit out Week 7 against the Packers, but a Week 8 bye seemingly has afforded him enough recovery time to put himself in a position to play again. With James Conner (foot) out for the season and Trey Benson (knee) still on injured reserve for a few more weeks, the Cardinals are set to roll with Bam Knight as their primary runner, but who between Demercado and practice-squad members Michael Carter and Jermar Jefferson is the No. 2 on Monday in Dallas remains to be seen.

Out this week Demercado (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Green Bay, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Demercado hasn't practiced since missing the second half of Sunday's loss to the Colts. Michael Carter took on more passing-down work in Demercado's absence, while Bam Knight got more playing time and carries. Carter and Knight figure to split work this Sunday, with D'Ernest Johnson or Jermar Jefferson potentially promoted from the practice squad for depth.

Remains sidelined Thursday Demercado (ankle) did not practice Thursday.

Impact Demercado has now missed back-to-back practices due to a left ankle injury sustained during Arizona's loss to the Colts in Week 6. Unless he's able to return to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday, Demercado appears on track to miss Sunday's game against the Packers. That would position Michael Carter and Bam Knight to again split backfield opportunities with James Conner (knee) out for the year and Trey Benson (knee) on IR until at least Week 10.

No practice Wednesday Demercado (ankle) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Demercado didn't return to this Sunday's defeat at Indianapolis after favoring his left ankle while going to the locker room in the second quarter. In the end, Michael Carter (11 touches for 64 yards and no touchdowns on a 44 percent snap share) and Bam Knight (12-54-1 on 51 percent) split the backfield almost evenly between them Week 6. However, Knight was limited Wednesday due to a knee issue, leaving Carter as the sole health running back on Arizona's active roster.

Hurts ankle Sunday Demercado suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's game in Indianapolis.

Impact Demercado went to the locker room with a slight limp while favoring his left ankle in the second quarter. He's part of a backfield committee for the Cardinals along with Michael Carter and Bam Knight with James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson (knee) on injured reserve. Demercado had one carry for one yard and didn't haul in his only target prior to his exit.
