Not spotted at practice Friday Conner (ribs) wasn't seen during the portion of Friday's practice that was open to the media, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Conner, who suffered the rib injury during the Cardinals' Week 18 loss to the Seahawks, was unable to practice Thursday and looks set to miss another session. The 26-year-will have one more opportunity Saturday to take the field ahead of Monday's wild-card matchup with the Rams.

Every NFL playoff team's key weakness and how to mask it

Doesn't practice Thursday Conner (ribs) was held out of Thursday's practice, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact After sitting out Weeks 16 and 17 due to a heel injury, Conner returned for the Cardinals' regular-season finale against the Seahawks and took on the bulk of the backfield work (21 touches on 59 percent snap share) before departing in the fourth quarter with a rib issue. Coach Kliff Kingsbury termed both Conner and Chase Edmonds (ribs/toe), who sat out Week 18 but was limited Wednesday, as game-time decisions for Monday's playoff opener at the Rams, according to Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site. With Jonathan Ward (knee) also unable to practice Wednesday, Eno Benjamin is the only healthy running back on the active roster at the moment.

Impact Conner missed Weeks 16 and 17 with a heel injury, then hurt his ribs in the fourth quarter of the Week 18 loss to Seattle. He thus appears uncertain for Monday's wild-card matchup with the Rams, though there's some opportunity for a huge workload if he recovers quickly. Fellow Cardinals running backs Chase Edmonds (ribs/toe) and Jonathan Ward (knee) also are day-to-day with injuries, with neither looking like a safe bet to suit up for the postseason opener.

Exits with injured ribs Conner left Sunday's game against the Seahawks with a rib injury and is questionable to return.

Impact Conner was injured in the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest, and it's not yet clear if he will be able to re-enter the game. Fellow running back Jonathan Ward also exited the game, leaving Eno Benjamin as the Cardinals' only healthy running back.

Back in action Sunday Conner (heel) is listed as active Sunday versus the Seahawks, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact The Cardinals ruled out Chase Edmonds (ribs/toe) ahead of Week 18 action, but a cloud hung over Conner's ability to suit up after missing back-to-back games due to a heel injury. Conner managed limited practices Wednesday through Friday, which was enough to allow him to return. Arizona has a chance to win the NFC West with a win and a Rams loss, so coach Kliff Kingsbury may send out Conner as he did prior to his recent absence. When Edmonds sat out Weeks 10-14 due to a high-ankle sprain, Conner averaged 20.8 touches for 99.8 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring five TDs in four outings. If Conner can't handle such a workload, though, Eno Benjamin and Jonathan Ward are the next players up at running back.

Listed as questionable Conner (heel) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Seattle, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact With backfield mate Chase Edmonds (ribs/toe) already ruled out, the Cards have some extra incentive to get Conner back in action after back-to-back missed games. Still, fantasy managers should treat him as questionable barring further updates, with Eno Benjamin and Jonathan Ward on hand for RB snaps if Conner can't go or is limited. The Cardinals are scheduled for a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, needing a win or a Rams loss to earn the NFC West crown.

Limited again Thursday Conner (heel) was limited at practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact While Conner maintained his activity level from Wednesday, fellow running back Chase Edmonds (ribs/toe) did, too, only he remained sidelined from practice. Conner has missed the last two games due to a heel injury, but considering he's healthier than Edmonds at the moment he seems to have a better shot to play Sunday against the Seahawks. Friday's injury report may provide some insight into the state of the Cardinals backfield heading into the weekend.

Puts in another limited practice Conner (heel) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Conner has missed two straight games due to a heel injury, but he now has logged two consecutive limited sessions dating back to last week. Chase Edmonds, who filled in for Conner as the Cardinals' lead running back during that span, didn't practice at all Wednesday with rib and toe issues. Conner seems to be in a better place health-wise than Edmonds at the moment, but how the rest of Week 18 transpires will determine who among the two is available Sunday against the Seahawks. When active this season, Conner has averaged 15.6 touches per game versus Edmonds' 13.3.

Another absence Sunday Conner (heel) is inactive for Sunday's game at Dallas, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact There was a glimmer of hope for Conner to return to action after he managed a limited practice Friday, his first appearance on the field since picking up a heel injury back in Week 15. While he was considered a game-time decision for a second straight contest, he'll log another DNP on his game log. Conner thus will hand most of the backfield reps to Chase Edmonds, who notched 24 touches for 127 yards yards from scrimmage and one TD in Week 16 against the Colts.

Questionable for Sunday Conner (heel) returned to a limited practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Chase Edmonds (back) upgraded to full participation Friday and thus avoids an injury designation, after handling 24 touches and a 92 percent snap share in a 22-16 loss to Indianapolis last Saturday -- the first game Conner has missed all season. Conner could be a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, with his potential absence locking in Edmonds for a large workload and Eno Benjamin for a backup role. If Conner plays, he'll likely return to his timeshare with Edmonds.
