James Conner - Page 17 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Touchdown saves inefficient effort Conner rushed the ball 14 times for 42 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 38-10 loss to the 49ers. He added two receptions on five targets for 12 yards.

Impact Conner joined the rest of the Cardinals' offense by turning in a fairly abysmal performance. However, he salvaged his stat line with a two-yard touchdown plunge late in the second quarter. Otherwise, his effort was highlighted by inefficiency and mistakes -- highlighted by a drop early in the second quarter that led directly to San Francisco's second touchdown of the game. With Arizona's running back depth chart extremely thin, Conner is likely to see all the volume he can handle, though that may not lead to standout production on a struggling team.

Finds end zone twice in win Conner carried the ball 21 times for 69 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Rams. He also caught all three of his targets for 17 yards.

Impact The 27-year-old back hadn't scored since Week 1, but a healthy Conner finally regained the nose for the end zone he displayed in 2021. He punched in his first TD late in the second quarter on a four-yard run, then scored on a nine-yard scamper midway through the fourth. Conner will look to keep rolling in Week 11 against a 49ers defense he scored three touchdowns against in two meetings last year.

NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Quiet in Week 9 return Conner carried the ball seven times for 45 yards and caught all five of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact Seeing his first action since Week 5 after recovering from a rib injury, Conner saw 12 touches to Eno Benjamin's five but was still out-gained on the ground by Kyler Murray. The workload split in the Arizona backfield might be due to Conner's layoff, but Benjamin may also have shown enough over the last three games to retain a role in the offense, leaving Conner's upside somewhat in question heading into a Week 10 road matchup against the Rams.

Back in action Sunday Conner (ribs) is active for Sunday's game versus the Seahawks.

Impact The Cardinals are welcoming back Conner for the first time since Week 5, when he suffered a rib injury that forced three consecutive absences. He was limited in practice for the entirety of Week 9 prep, and his availability Sunday was contingent on a pregame warmup, so there's a chance he operates in a timeshare with Eno Benjamin and, to a lesser extent, rookie sixth-round pick Keaontay Ingram in his return to action. On the season, Conner has averaged 3.7 yards on his 54 carries, hauled in 14 of 19 targets and scored one rushing touchdown in parts of five games.

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to play Conner (ribs), officially listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against Seattle, Fox's Jay Glazer reports.

Impact Earlier reports suggested that the Cardinals plan to test Conner during pre-game warmups before determining his availability, but Glazer's report is more optimistic. Either way, there's still some uncertainty about Conner's status that won't be resolved until Arizona's inactives are posted ahead of the team's 4:05 ET kickoff. Eno Benjamin and Keaontay Ingram are on hand to log added snaps Sunday if Conner experiences any setbacks in warmups or in-game (if active).

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Conner is officially listed as questionable for the contest after practicing in a limited fashion this week, with his Week 9 status set to be confirmed either way when the Cardinals' inactives are posted ahead of the team's 4:05 ET kickoff. Eno Benjamin and Keaontay Ingram are on hand to log added snaps Sunday if Conner experiences any setbacks in warmups or in-game (if active).

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Hopeful for Week 9 return The Cardinals are hopeful that Conner (ribs), officially listed as questionable, will return for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Conner has missed the last three games, but he logged limited practices Wednesday through Friday before taking a designation into the Week 9 matchup. Though Conner looks to be trending toward playing Sunday at this juncture, how he looks in pregame warmups will likely dictate whether he's active and what kind of workload he handles if he does suit up. With that in mind, Eno Benjamin, who has been the Cardinals' top back the past three games, could end up having a role in the game plan even if Conner is cleared to play.

Appears truly questionable Conner (ribs), a likely game-time decision, is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Seattle, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact The designation was inevitable once coach Kliff Kingsbury said Friday that he considers Conner a game-time call ahead of a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff with their NFC West avian rivals. It's a sign of progress after Conner was ruled out on the final injury report last week, his third consecutive absence since hurting his ribs in a Week 5 loss to the Eagles. With Darrel Williams (hip) on injured reserve, the Cardinals will rely on Keaontay Ingram as the backup to Eno Benjamin if Conner misses a fourth straight game this Sunday.

NOVEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time call for Sunday Coach Kliff Kingsbury considers Conner (ribs) a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact For a second week in a row, Conner opened it with back-to-back capped practices. However, last Friday, he didn't practice at all and was ruled out, so he appears to be in a much better spot, health-wise. In the end, Conner likely will be accompanied by a questionable designation upon the release of this Friday's injury report.

NOVEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Remains limited Thursday Conner (ribs) was limited at Thursday's practice, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Like he did Wednesday, Conner again had a cap on his reps one day later as he continues his recovery from the rib injury that so far has forced three consecutive absences. Until he logs a full session or the Cardinals otherwise remove his designation, his status seemingly is in limbo. Coach Kliff Kingsbury did call Conner day-to-day earlier this week, so the running back may be drawing close to a return to action. Friday's practice report could signal that Conner is good to go for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

NOVEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Begins week as limited Conner (ribs) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Conner seems to be scratching and clawing his way to gain clearance for game action. After opening Week 8 prep with back-to-back capped practices, he didn't practice last Friday before the Cardinals ruled him out for this past Sunday's visit to Minnesota. Conner again is starting this week as a limited participant, while fellow running back Darrel Williams (hip) didn't practice and was placed on injured reserve with a new injury, per Darren Urban of the team's official site. With two more sessions to go Thursday and Friday, Conner will aim to do enough to put an end to a three-game absence and join Eno Benjamin and rookie Keaontay Ingram in Arizona's backfield Sunday versus the Seahawks.
