InjuryJames Conner was carted from the Cardinals’ Week 3 game against the 49ers with an apparent ankle injury.
Conner’s ankle was bent backward on a tackle in the third quarter. He immediately reached for the ankle after the play and stayed on the field for trainers to come check him out. He was forced to ride the cart into the locker room and the entire Cardinals’ bench stepped onto the turf to see him off. Trey Benson will close out Week 3 as the Cardinals’ lead back. He will likely be the starter in Week 4 against the Seahawks.
