2026 NFL Roster Cutdown Day Moves: Tracking Every Notable Move Around The League

Reverts to IR Benson (knee) reverted to the Cardinals' injured reserve list Tuesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Benson underwent surgery in early October for a meniscus injury he suffered in the Cardinals' Week 4 loss to the Seahawks. The running back could never get right from the meniscus issue enough to stay on the practice field. The 24-year-old's struggles are made worse with such a crowded Cardinals running back room consisting of rookie first-rounder Jeremiyah Love (ankle), Tyler Allgeier and James Conner (foot). Benson is set to miss the entirety of the 2026 regular season, but if he can fix his knee troubles could negotiate an injury settlement in an attempt to find another team to play for in 2026.

Returns to practice Benson (knee) was waived/injured by the Cardinals on Monday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Impact Benson has been in and out of practice throughout training camp due to lingering issues with his surgically repaired left knee that kept him sidelined after Week 4 last season. Arizona made two notable additions to its backfield this offseason in 2026 third overall pick Jeremiyah Love and free-agent addition Tyler Allgeier and still retains long-time starter James Conner (foot). Assuming Benson clears waivers Tuesday, he'll revert to injured reserve.

Remains out of practice Benson (knee) has not been present for any portion of the Cardinals' previous two full-squad practices this week, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact After stretching with the team ahead of Monday's walkthrough practice, Benson hasn't since been seen by the media. He's been dealing with the knee injury all summer after missing the final 14 weeks of the 2025 campaign with an injury to the same knee. Unable to practice much or play so far this summer, Benson could be on the outside looking in at a roster spot considering he doesn't play special teams.

AUGUST 21 • ROTOWIRE

Still not full-go Benson (knee) has yet to progress to 11-on-11 drills in training camp, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact The clock is ticking for Benson, who missed a large chunk of 2025 with a knee injury that has continued to bother him at times during camp. On a positive note, Benson managed a limited practice Monday. However, it's unclear when he'll be ready for full-team drills. Benson is one of several Cardinals running backs dealing with injury, including Jeremiyah Love and James Conner.

AUGUST 18 • ROTOWIRE

Present for Monday's workout Benson (knee) is in attendance for Monday's practice, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Benson has been in and out of practice since his left knee flared up two weeks ago, missing Thursday's preseason game at Las Vegas in the process. With rookie first-round pick Jeremiyah Love being diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain this weekend, Benson has a chance to stake a claim on the RB depth chart behind offseason addition Tyler Allgeier for as long as Love is sidelined. Moreover, fellow back James Conner continues to sit out 11-on-11 drills due to a foot injury, meaning Benson currently is the highest profile player at the position that can make a leap, assuming he doesn't suffer additional setbacks with his own health concern.

Knee issue flares up Benson (knee) did not play in Thursday's preseason game against the Cowboys and has no timeline for return, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports.

Impact Benson was cleared to return to practice in early August, but it looks like he's suffered a setback with a left knee injury that he's been dealing with since October. Jeremiyah Love (ankle) and James Conner (foot) are also working through their own injuries, leaving Tyler Allgeier as the top healthy running back on the Cardinals' depth chart, with Bam Knight, Corey Kiner and Evan Hull all providing backfield depth.

Trey Benson's Cardinals future looks shakier by the day Trey Benson's future with the Cardinals is up in the air as they have to soon resolve a running back logjam.

AUGUST 14 • RAISINGZONA.COM

Back at practice Tuesday Benson (knee) returned to practice Tuesday, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact Benson sat out Monday's session due to discomfort in his left knee, which stems back to the concern that sidelined him after Week 4 last season. The "little flair-up," as coach Mike LaFleur described it, won't keep Benson off the field long, but it remains to be seen if the third-year pro will be cleared to play in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Panthers. Benson is vying for slotting with James Conner (foot) behind rookie first-round pick Jeremiyah Love and offseason pickup Tyler Allgeier in the Cardinals backfield.

AUGUST 4 • ROTOWIRE

Has sore knee Coach Mike LaFleur said Monday that Benson is dealing with discomfort in his left knee, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Benson wasn't able to play after Week 4 last season due to a knee injury, finishing with 29 carries for 160 yards, 13 catches (on 16 targets) for 64 yards and no touchdowns in four contests. LaFleur noted that the team doesn't expect the current issue to be a long-term concern, and there's a chance Benson will play in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Panthers, per Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. With James Conner (foot) still not operating at 100 percent in training camp, Bam Knight, Corey Kiner and Evan Hull are the reserve RBs behind the top duo of rookie first-round pick Jeremiyah Love and offseason signing Tyler Allgeier.

Practices Thursday Benson (knee) participated in practice Thursday, Jess Root of USA Today reports.

Impact As did fellow RB James Conner, who is bouncing back from an ankle injury. Per Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site, while the returning backs are ready for camp, the team plans to "be smart" with them out of the gate. Looking ahead, Benson will look to secure slotting in a crowded Arizona backfield that also includes Jeremiyah Love, Tyler Allgeier, as well as Conner. However, unless injuries hit, Benson doesn't have a path to steady volume in the offense as Week 1 approaches.
