Cards Place Trey Benson on Injured Reserve with Knee Injury; Running Back Could Return This Season
Trey Benson, the Cardinals' leading rusher with 160 yards, will miss at least four games after meniscus surgery, prompting Arizona to rely on backups Emari Demercado and Michael Carter.
- On Wednesday, Trey Benson, Arizona Cardinals running back, was placed on injured reserve after arthroscopic meniscus surgery and is expected to be sidelined four to six weeks, coach Jonathan Gannon said.
- Last Thursday, Benson sustained a knee injury late in the 23-20 loss to the Seattle Seahawks and played through it after assuming the starting role following James Conner's foot injury.
- This season, Benson leads with 29 carries for 160 yards, finished last week with eight carries for 35 yards and five catches for 19 yards, and has 13 receptions for 64 yards.
- To fill Benson's role, the Cardinals promoted Michael Carter to the active roster and added D'Ernest Johnson and Jermar Jefferson to the practice squad for depth.
- With Benson sidelined, the Cardinals, now 2-2, face questions about their offense as running game averages 4.0 yards per carry and Benson must miss at least five weeks due to the Week 8 bye.
