The Arizona Cardinals have placed running back Trey Benson on Injured Reserve due to an ankle injury, ruling him out for Week 18. This development comes as RB James Conner is also dealing with a knee injury, which could have opened the door for Benson to take on a starting role. With Benson sidelined, Michael Carter is expected to step in as the starter if Conner is unable to play.
- Trey Benson's injury significantly impacts the Cardinals' backfield depth.
