James Conner, Darrel Williams ruled out in final injury report The Cardinals will be missing James Conner and Matt Prater on Sunday. CB Byron Murphy has a groin injury that has him questionable.

Ruled out this week Head coach Kliff Kingsbury said Conner (ribs) won't play Sunday against the Seahawks, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact Kingsbury also ruled out fellow running back Darrel Williams (knee), and expressed uncertainty about Conner's and Williams' chances of being available for the Cardinals' Week 7 game against the Saints next Thursday. For at least Week 6, the absences of Conner and Williams likely paves the way Eno Benjamin to step into a lead role out of the backfield, while rookie sixth-round pick Keaontay Ingram and practice-squad call-up Corey Clement are expected to fill depth roles behind him.

Officially no practice Thursday Conner (ribs) didn't practice Thursday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact After sitting out Wednesday's walkthrough, Conner followed it up with another absence at an official session one day later, giving him just one more opportunity to join his teammates on the field this week. Considering his veteran status and familiarity with the offense, he may not need to practice to be available on game day, but Friday's injury report may give a sense of if the running back can play through a rib issue Sunday at Seattle. If Conner is limited or out this weekend, Eno Benjamin is in line to lead the Cardinals backfield with Darrel Williams (knee) unlikely to suit up and Jonathan Ward (hamstring) on IR. The team's other RBs are rookie sixth-rounder Keaontay Ingram and practice-squad members Corey Clement and Ty'Son Williams.

How long is James Conner out? Cardinals RB expected to miss game vs. Seahawks with rib injury With Conner likely shelved, Eno Benjamin looks to be the next man up in the Cardinals' run game.

Not seen at practice Thursday Conner (ribs) wasn't spotted during the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact If he eventually goes down as a non-participant for a second consecutive day, Conner will have just one more opportunity to mix into drills before Arizona tags him with a designation ahead of Sunday's contest at Seattle. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury has called Conner day-to-day this week, so there's a chance the sixth-year pro doesn't need to practice to be available on game day. If Conner is limited or out this weekend, Eno Benjamin would take the reins of the Cardinals backfield with Darrel Williams (knee) unlikely to play and Jonathan Ward (hamstring) on injured reserve. Other candidates to get backfield touches are rookie Keaontay Ingram and practice-squad members Corey Clement and Ty'Son Williams.

Doesn't practice Wednesday Conner (rib) was unable to take part in Wednesday's walk-through session, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Conner made an early departure from the Cardinals' Week 5 loss to the Eagles, the second time in five games in which he was forced out of a contest prematurely. This time around, head coach Kliff Kingsbury has called Conner "day-to-day," according to Darren Urban of the team's official site, but it hasn't translated to any on-field work yet. Conner's status thus bears monitoring as the weekend draws closer to get a sense of his potential to play Sunday at Seattle. Meanwhile, with Darrel Williams (knee) unlikely to suit up this weekend and with Jonathan Ward (hamstring) on injured reserve, Eno Benjamin and rookie Keaontay Ingram are the only healthy running backs on the active roster. Corey Clement and Ty'Son Williams candidates to be elevated from the practice squad if Conner is limited or out this weekend.

Deemed 'day-to-day' Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Wednesday that Conner (ribs) is day-to-day, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact Conner exited this past Sunday's loss to the Eagles in the third quarter with a rib issue. In the aftermath, Kingsbury told Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com that Conner checked out fine, but the team would take a cautious approach with its top running back ahead of Sunday's game in Seattle. Speaking of the backfield, special teamer Jonathan Ward (hamstring) was placed on IR on Wednesday, while Darrel Williams (knee) isn't slated to play Week 6, so Eno Benjamin and rookie sixth-rounder Keaontay Ingram are the only healthy RBs on the active roster.

Arizona's bad-start habit threatens to derail season goals
The Arizona Cardinals are a middling team these days with two major problems: They aren’t playing well in the first quarter and they aren’t playing well at homeOCTOBER 10, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Seems to have avoided major injury Arizona head coach Kliff Kingsbury said after Sunday's 20-17 loss to Philadelphia that Conner checked out OK after injuring his ribs in the first half of the contest, Josh Weinfuss...
Impact Conner played 24 snaps and gained 55 yards on nine carries and eight yards on one reception before leaving the game late in the second quarter. Eno Benjamin stepped up behind him to draw 11 touches in the narrow loss, but the Cardinals appear to be tentatively planning as though Conner will be available for the team's Week 6 game in Seattle. The Cardinals will likely wait and see if Conner's upcoming tests reveal anything concerning before the team has a clearer idea about his status heading into next Sunday.

HIGHLIGHT: James Conner's Lethal Stiff-Arm Cardinals running back James Conner's lethal stiff-arm sends Carolina Panthers defensive back Jaycee Horn downward.
OCTOBER 3, 2022 • AZCARDINALS.COM
Leading rusher against Carolina Conner carried the ball 15 times for 55 yards and caught all three of his targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 26-16 win over the Panthers.
Impact His scrimmage yards total was modest, but it was a season high for Conner. Eno Benjamin and Darrel Williams combined for 55 rushing yards on only nine carries, however, so while Conner remains the lead back for Arizona, his inefficiency could begin to cost him touches heading into a Week 5 matchup with the undefeated Eagles.

Ready for Week 4 Conner (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Carolina, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact After opening Week 4 prep with back-to-back limited sessions due to a knee injury, Conner handled every practice rep Friday, paving the way for him to lead the Cardinals backfield yet again this weekend. He's found the going tough through three games this season, mustering 90 yards and a touchdown on 30 carries and recording 10 catches (on 15 targets) for 73 yards.

Limited again Thursday Conner (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact For a second consecutive week, Conner is tending to a health concern, this time to his knee. So far, he's logged back-to-back capped sessions during Week 4 prep, so his listing on Friday's practice report may give a sense of his chances to suit up Sunday at Carolina. On the season, Conner is averaging a paltry 3.0 YPC on 30 rushes, hauled in 10 of 15 targets for 73 yards and scored one rushing touchdown.
