Overview
- Conner went down early in the third quarter on his second carry of the half when Jordan Elliott and Marques Sigle converged, and his right leg bent awkwardly.
- Trainers attended on the field as players from both teams gathered, and the Cardinals ruled him out within minutes with an ankle injury.
- Before exiting, Conner had nine carries for 22 yards and three receptions for 15 yards after entering Week 3 with 73 rushing yards and a touchdown on the season.
- Rookie Trey Benson took over the backfield work with Emari Demercado also in line for more snaps while Conner’s status is evaluated.
- A definitive diagnosis is pending team testing, with some outside medical speculation about a possible fracture reported as unconfirmed.
