Arizona Cardinals roster and injury updates

Overview

The Arizona Cardinals are managing significant roster and injury challenges as they finalize their 53-man squad following the preseason.

On the offensive side, the running back unit is heavily impacted. James Conner has been placed on injured reserve with a designation to return, which will cause him to miss at least the first four games due to foot and ankle injuries. Additionally, running back Trey Benson is on injured reserve and is expected to miss the entire season. To manage depth, the team is relying on players such as Tyler Allgeier and Bam Knight.

The defensive secondary is also facing setbacks. Cornerback Will Johnson is managing a lower body injury, while Garrett Williams is in a ramp-up period following an Achilles injury, leaving his availability for Week 1 uncertain. The team has been utilizing Denzel Burke and safety Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in nickel roles to address these gaps.
