James Conner - Page 29 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Placed on COVID list Conner has been added to the reserve/COVID-19 list after being deemed a high-risk close contact, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.

Impact Conner, who had been dealing with a toe issue, thus is a question mark for Friday's preseason game against the Cowboys. When available, Conner is expected to combine with Chase Edmonds in what the Cardinals hope will be an effective one-two backfield punch in 2021.

Held out of practice Conner (toe) didn't participate in 11-on-11s or 7-on-7s over the weekend, Jess Root of Yahoo Sports reports.

Impact Conner had toe surgery at some point this offseason but reportedly participated in June OTAs. It's unclear if he's dealing with a new injury or simply being eased into practice at training camp. Either way, the Cardinals hope Conner and Chase Edmonds can form an effective tandem in the backfield this year. The depth options are lacking, to say the least, with Jonathan Ward, Eno Benjamin, Khalfani Muhammad and Tavien Feaster offering minimal NFL experience.

On track for training camp Conner (toe) participated in OTAs in June, according to Jess Root of CardsWire.

Impact Conner had offseason toe surgery and was expected to be healthy at some point in June. It isn't clear if he was a full participant in OTAs, but the ability to practice in any capacity suggests he should be ready for the start of training camp in late July. Signed to a one-year, $1.75 million contract this spring, Conner will compete with Chase Edmonds for snaps and touches out of the Arizona backfield.
