CHASE EDMONDS NEWS

Still not practicing, but not on IR Edmonds isn't practicing Thursday and remains likely to miss 3-to-4 weeks due to the high-ankle sprain he sustained in the Week 9 win over the 49ers, but Arizona has yet to place h...

Impact Additionally, head coach Kliff Kingsbury hasn't officially ruled Edmonds out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, though Kingsbury at least admitted Monday that the running back is unlikely to play Week 10, per Dana Scott of The Arizona Republic reports. A move to injured reserve (and an accompanying three-game absence) is still the most likely outcome for Edmonds, but the Cardinals could be inclined to wait until the end of the week to make the transaction official. Given the lack of established depth behind him, James Conner looks poised to handle a three-down role for Arizona while Edmonds is on the mend.

Cardinals RB Chase Edmonds sustains high-ankle sprain, expected to miss multiple games: Reports Edmonds injured his ankle on the Cardinals' first offensive play of the game against the 49ers, and limped off the field

NOVEMBER 8, 2021 • THEATHLETIC.COM

MRI reveals high-ankle sprain Emonds underwent an MRI on Monday that revealed a high-ankle sprain, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Edmonds suffered his injury early in Sunday's Week 9 win over the 49ers and is expected to miss 3-4 weeks while he recovers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. It appears likely that the 25-year-old will require a stint on injured reserve, and his absence should create more opportunities for James Conner.

High-ankle sprain feared Edmonds may have suffered a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's win over the 49ers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Edmonds was forced out of Sunday's divisional win after injuring his ankle during Arizona's first play. The results of Monday's MRI will confirm the severity of his injury, but if he's indeed suffered a high-ankle sprain the Cardinals will likely place him on short-term IR. Rapoport notes that such injuries generally carry a recovery timetable of 4-6 weeks. James Conner will operate as Arizona's lead running back if Edmonds is forced to miss any amount of time, while Eno Benjamin would be a candidate to step into the No. 2 role.

Conner leads short-handed Cardinals past 49ers 31-17

Picks up ankle injury Edmonds injured his ankle during Sunday's game at San Francisco, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Edmonds limped off the field slowly in the early moments of the contest. At the time of his departure, he had one carry for three yards. As long as Edmonds is sidelined, James Conner will be the Cardinals' lead runner, and with Jonathan Ward (concussion) inactive Sunday, Eno Benjamin is the only other RB available to the offense.

Cleared for Sunday's game Edmonds (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Impact After being limited in the Cardinals' first two Week 9 practices due to the shoulder issue, Edmonds received the green light for Sunday after practicing in full Friday. Meanwhile, the two most important members of the Cardinals' passing attack -- quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle) and wideout DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) -- are listed as questionable after failing to practice in any fashion, with head coach Kliff Kingsbury terming both as game-day decisions leading up to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. The potential absence of Murray in particular could prompt Kingsbury to opt for a more run-heavy approach Sunday, which could translate to more touches for Edmonds and James Conner out of the backfield.

Remains limited at practice Edmonds (shoulder) logged a limited practice Thursday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Edmonds is operating under a cap on his reps this week, likely due to the play in which he left last Thursday's game against the Packers in discomfort after getting tackled. He stayed in the contest and ended up with a 59 percent snap share and 10 touches. Meanwhile, backfield mate James Conner rang in with 37 and five, respectively. If Edmonds' health remains a concern heading into the weekend, there's a chance he could be the player to take a backseat at running back. Still, it's difficult to project the Edmonds-Conner breakdown, especially with a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff on tap Sunday in San Francisco.

Dealing with shoulder issue Edmonds was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Edmonds left last Thursday's eventual loss to the Packers after a six-yard run early in the fourth quarter, but he was back on the field three plays later and finished out the game. He paced Cardinals runnings backs with 59 percent snap share and 10 touches, while James Conner received 37 percent and five touches. Such a breakdown has been the norm for this backfield this season, but it'll be interesting to see if Edmonds' injury will result in role reversals for the two, as happened back in Week 6 (Edmonds had 36 percent, and Conner handled 54 percent of plays).

69 total yards, TD in loss Edmonds rushed seven times for 30 yards and a touchdown and brought in three of four targets for 39 yards in the Cardinals' 24-21 loss to the Packers on Thursday night.

Impact Edmonds and backfield mate James Conner both saw their rushing opportunities curtailed due to an unexpected game script that saw the Cardinals trail from the first quarter on. However, the fourth-year back still found a way to make an impact for fantasy managers with an 11-yard touchdown run in the first quarter that opened the scoring on the night. The scamper was Edmond's first visit to the end zone of the season, and he also notably got back to logging multiple receptions after seeing a six-game season-opening streak of such tallies snapped in Week 7. Edmonds will hope for a bigger overall workload in a Week 9 road matchup against the 49ers a week from Sunday.

Strong showing in win Edmonds carried the ball 15 times for 81 yards and caught one of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 31-5 win over the Texans.

Impact He was Arizona's leading rusher on the afternoon, although James Conner was also productive with 64 rushing yards and a TD. Edmonds is still looking for his first score of the year, but he's collected at least 75 scrimmage yards in five of seven games heading into a Week 8 clash with the Packers.

Impact Edmonds even closed out the practice week as a full participant after being limited throughout October. The Cardinals may have enough strength to keep both Edmonds and James Conner happy this Sunday against the one-win Texans.
