The Arizona Cardinals have released running back Trey Benson with a waiver/injury designation. Benson, a former third-round pick from Florida State, had been dealing with a recurring knee injury, specifically a meniscus issue, that prevented him from participating in the preseason.

The team is currently managing several injuries within its backfield. Rookie Jeremiyah Love is recovering from an ankle sprain sustained during his professional debut, and third-round pick Carson Beck is managing a minor rib injury. Additionally, the team has activated outside linebacker Josh Sweat from the active/PUP list following his return to practice after a month-long absence due to a knee injury.
