James Conner, the Arizona Cardinals' running back, is dealing with a knee injury but has shown some optimism by participating in a limited capacity during the first practice of Week 17. While he may be available for the upcoming game against the Rams, his workload could be lighter due to the team's eliminated playoff status. Looking ahead to 2024, Conner is expected to handle a significant workload if he can stay healthy, despite the addition of rookie running back Trey Benson.

• Conner was limited in practice due to a knee injury but has a chance to play in Week 17.
• If healthy, Conner is expected to have a heavy workload in 2024, potentially exceeding 200 carries.
