Arizona will lose its number 1 runner for several weeks.
Black Tuesday for offensive players. After Justin Jefferson and De’Von Achane, it’s James Conner’s turn to see his season take a forced break. According to ESPN, the Cardinals running back could be placed on the injured list and therefore miss at least the next 4 weeks. The knee injury occurred this Sunday, after a 35-yard run against the Bengals. Conner then left directly towards the blue tent, without ever returning to the field.
This is a real blow for Arizona, whose attack is already deprived of Kyler Murray. In 6 games, Conner ran for 364 yards, with an average of 5.4 yards per carry, and scored 2 touchdowns. To replace him, the Cardinals can count on undrafted rookie Emari Demercado, whose return against Cincinnati was interesting. The franchise also responded by bringing back veteran Tony Jones Jr.
