Arizona Cardinals release Trey Benson amid running back injuries

The Arizona Cardinals have released running back Trey Benson with a waiver/injury designation. Benson, a 2024 third-round draft pick out of Florida State, struggled with a lingering meniscus injury that hindered his recovery and prevented him from participating in preseason games.

Meanwhile, the team is managing injuries to other key players in their running back rotation. Rookie first-round pick Jeremiyah Love is recovering from an ankle sprain sustained during his professional debut against the Las Vegas Raiders. While his recovery is reportedly trending in the right direction, his availability for week one remains uncertain. Additionally, third-round pick Carson Beck is working through a minor rib injury sustained during the Hall of Fame Game, though he is expected to avoid being placed on injured reserve.
