Cardinals Place RB Trey Benson on IR After Meniscus Surgery

Arizona will lean on Emari Demercado, Michael Carter, plus Bam Knight during Benson's IR stint.

Overview

  • Head coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday that Trey Benson is headed to injured reserve with a designation to return.
  • ESPN reported Benson underwent arthroscopic meniscus surgery and is expected to miss roughly four to six weeks.
  • Because IR requires four games and Arizona has a Week 8 bye, the earliest realistic return is Week 10.
  • Gannon said Demercado, Carter and Bam Knight are slated to play against the Titans as the backfield rotates.
  • The Cardinals promoted Carter to the active roster, added D’Ernest Johnson to the practice squad, and made the move after James Conner’s season-ending foot injury.
