NFL Week 8 Injury Updates: Who's In and Who's Out James Conner will miss his third straight game, which gives Eno Benjamin another opportunity to produce.

OCTOBER 28, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Out this week Conner (ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Minnesota, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Darrel Williams (knee) is a game-time decision, potentially giving the Cardinals a third backfield option alongside Eno Benjamin and Keaontay Ingram, both of whom scored touchdowns in a Week 7 win over New Orleans. There's a good chance Benjamin keeps the lead role even if Williams plays, but it would still add risk to have another body involved. Despite making it back to limited practice participation this week, Conner will miss a third straight game.

Stays limited at practice Conner (ribs) was limited at Thursday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Conner has put together back-to-back capped sessions as he attempts to get past the rib injury that has sidelined him the last two games. Friday's practice report may provide a glimpse into the breakdown of Arizona's backfield ahead of Sunday's contest at Minnesota, with the statuses of both Conner and Darrel Williams (knee) up in the air. If the pair is active this weekend, Conner again may resume his standing as the team's lead runner, but he could yield reps to both Williams and Eno Benjamin.

Returns to limited practice Conner (ribs) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact The appearance on the field marked Conner's first since injuring his ribs Week 5 against the Eagles. He's missed two games as a result, but the limited showing may be a sign that he's inching toward a return to action. Fellow running back Darrel Williams (knee) also was limited Wednesday, meaning the Cardinals backfield is slowly getting back to full strength. If Conner gets the green light to play Sunday at Minnesota, he likely will reclaim lead-back duties from Eno Benjamin, though the latter (and potentially Williams) also may be in the mix for touches.

Not suiting up Thursday Conner (ribs) is listed as inactive Thursday against the Saints.

Impact Conner thus will miss a second game in a row along with Darrel Williams (knee), leaving the Cardinals backfield in the hands of Eno Benjamin (foot) and, to a lesser extent, rookie sixth-round pick Keaontay Ingram. After Thursday's contest, Arizona doesn't play again until Sunday, Oct. 30 at Minnesota, so Conner will have extra time to get healthy ahead of Week 8 action.

OCTOBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time call for Thursday Conner (ribs) didn't practice Wednesday but is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Saints, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Conner hasn't practiced since emerging from a Week 5 loss to the Eagles with a rib injury, but head coach Kliff Kingsbury noted Wednesday that the running back will be a game-time decision Thursday, per Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com. At the latest, Conner's status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, but if he joins Darrel Williams (knee) in street clothes, Eno Benjamin (foot) again will lead Arizona's backfield after capping Week 7 prep with a full practice.

Spectates for another practice Conner (ribs) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice report, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Conner hasn't logged any recorded or estimated practice activity since injuring his ribs in the first half of a Week 5 loss to the Eagles. The running back will have one more chance to get back on the practice field prior to Thursday's game against the Saints, but at this point, Conner looks to be trending toward missing a second straight contest. Eno Benjamin (foot) would be in line for another turn as Arizona's lead back.

DNP on estimated report Conner (ribs) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Conner sat out Week 6 after not practicing due to a rib injury he picked up a week prior. Fellow running back Darrel Williams (knee) also was ruled out, paving the way for Eno Benjamin (foot) to garner an increased role. However, all three of those backs were listed on Arizona's practice estimate Monday, with Benjamin the only one labeled as a limited participant. Considering it's a short week ahead of Thursday's matchup against New Orleans, it may be difficult for Conner or Williams to ramp all the way up to game action, but reports Tuesday and Wednesday should provide more clarity on how Arizona's running back room will look Week 7.

Ruled out this week Head coach Kliff Kingsbury said Conner (ribs) won't play Sunday against the Seahawks, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Kingsbury also ruled out fellow running back Darrel Williams (knee), and expressed uncertainty about Conner's and Williams' chances of being available for the Cardinals' Week 7 game against the Saints next Thursday. For at least Week 6, the absences of Conner and Williams likely paves the way Eno Benjamin to step into a lead role out of the backfield, while rookie sixth-round pick Keaontay Ingram and practice-squad call-up Corey Clement are expected to fill depth roles behind him.

Officially no practice Thursday Conner (ribs) didn't practice Thursday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact After sitting out Wednesday's walkthrough, Conner followed it up with another absence at an official session one day later, giving him just one more opportunity to join his teammates on the field this week. Considering his veteran status and familiarity with the offense, he may not need to practice to be available on game day, but Friday's injury report may give a sense of if the running back can play through a rib issue Sunday at Seattle. If Conner is limited or out this weekend, Eno Benjamin is in line to lead the Cardinals backfield with Darrel Williams (knee) unlikely to suit up and Jonathan Ward (hamstring) on IR. The team's other RBs are rookie sixth-rounder Keaontay Ingram and practice-squad members Corey Clement and Ty'Son Williams.

Not seen at practice Thursday Conner (ribs) wasn't spotted during the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact If he eventually goes down as a non-participant for a second consecutive day, Conner will have just one more opportunity to mix into drills before Arizona tags him with a designation ahead of Sunday's contest at Seattle. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury has called Conner day-to-day this week, so there's a chance the sixth-year pro doesn't need to practice to be available on game day. If Conner is limited or out this weekend, Eno Benjamin would take the reins of the Cardinals backfield with Darrel Williams (knee) unlikely to play and Jonathan Ward (hamstring) on injured reserve. Other candidates to get backfield touches are rookie Keaontay Ingram and practice-squad members Corey Clement and Ty'Son Williams.

Doesn't practice Wednesday Conner (rib) was unable to take part in Wednesday's walk-through session, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Conner made an early departure from the Cardinals' Week 5 loss to the Eagles, the second time in five games in which he was forced out of a contest prematurely. This time around, head coach Kliff Kingsbury has called Conner "day-to-day," according to Darren Urban of the team's official site, but it hasn't translated to any on-field work yet. Conner's status thus bears monitoring as the weekend draws closer to get a sense of his potential to play Sunday at Seattle. Meanwhile, with Darrel Williams (knee) unlikely to suit up this weekend and with Jonathan Ward (hamstring) on injured reserve, Eno Benjamin and rookie Keaontay Ingram are the only healthy running backs on the active roster. Corey Clement and Ty'Son Williams candidates to be elevated from the practice squad if Conner is limited or out this weekend.
