Arizona Cardinals

Trey Benson has knee surgery, out 4-6 weeks
Placed on IR

Injury update: Cardinals RB Trey Benson, who is being placed on injured reserve due to a knee injury, underwent arthroscopic surgery on his meniscus and now is expected to be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks, per source. (Adam Schefter on X)

FFToday's Take: Well, that escalated quickly. With Benson on the shelf, the Cardinals will likely turn to Michael Carter and Emari Demercado as their top two running backs. It's possible they could slide Carter into the early-down role and keep Demercado in the third-down, two-minute, pass-catching role. Both backs are waiver wire options this week but it's difficult to project either as more than a low-end RB2. Upcoming schedule for ARI is: TEN, @IND, GB, bye.
