Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner will begin season on injured reserve
James Conner will be out for at least the first four games of the season.
The Arizona Cardinals are set to have running back James Conner on injured reserve for the first four games of the upcoming season. According to John Gambadoro from Arizona Sports 98.7 FM, this decision allows the team to bypass the 53-man active roster. Conner suffered a severe ankle injury during the previous season, missing the final 14 games.
Despite not participating in full practices, Conner did attend individual position drills. To return, he needs to undergo a two-week period of not practicing, followed by a 21-day practice window. The earliest he can return is in Week 5, facing the Detroit Lions. This move could also mean that starting running back Evan Hull, who performed well in the preseason, might join the team. Rookie Jeremiyah Love, who has an ankle injury, might also miss the first game due to his recovery.
