James Conner nears return to practice amid Seattle Seahawks trade rumors

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner is nearing a return to practice following a severe ankle injury sustained in Week 3 of the 2025 season. Conner, who was placed on season-ending injured reserve last year after suffering a dislocation, has been on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. Reports indicate he is getting close to being ready to return to practice, with expectations that he could begin within two weeks. Once his 21-day window is opened, he will have three weeks to be elevated to the active roster.

In addition to injury updates, Conner has been linked to trade rumors as the November deadline approaches. The Seattle Seahawks have been identified as a top potential destination for the running back. Seattle is reportedly seeking depth due to injuries within their own backfield, including Zach Charbonnet and rookie Jadarian Price, both of whom have faced injury setbacks.
