Cardinals Face Trey Benson IR Deadline With Return in Doubt

Failure to activate him by Wednesday would keep him on injured reserve for the season.

Overview

  • ESPN's Adam Schefter reported there is a real chance the Cardinals will not activate Benson before the window closes this week.
  • Head coach Jonathan Gannon called Benson's status uncertain, saying, "We'll see" and that he wants to see the running back on the field before deciding.
  • Benson was designated to return on Nov. 19, starting a 21-day window; he practiced in a limited capacity early but has not practiced recently.
  • Kyler Murray remains out for the season, and Gannon said foot surgery is not currently planned for the quarterback.
  • Before his Week 4 knee injury and arthroscopic surgery, Benson logged 160 rushing yards on 29 carries and 13 catches for 64 yards as Arizona managed a depleted backfield.
