Still day-to-day with heel injury Coach Kliff Kingsbury considers Conner (heel) day-to-day as of Monday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The Cardinals held Conner out of practice last week so he could rest his heel issue. All along, though, both the running back and the team were optimistic he'd be able to play through the injury. In the end, Conner didn't heal enough to suit up Saturday against the Colts, which gave the keys to the backfield to Chase Edmonds. Edmonds ended up reeling off 127 yards from scrimmage and one TD on 24 touches, or a similar workload to what Conner handled when he was the unquestioned back during the former's four-game stint on injured reserve. Conner could set himself on a path to return by mixing into practice Wednesday through Friday.

Cardinals' James Conner (heel) expected to play vs. Colts Cardinals RB James Conner is expected to play against the Colts on Saturday night.

DECEMBER 25, 2021 • USATODAY.COM

Expected to play Saturday Conner (heel) is expected to play Saturday night against the Colts, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Though Conner didn't practice this past week, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com previously relayed that the running back was optimistic about suiting up for the contest, while noting that his ability to contribute would come down to pain management in terms of his heel. Either way, Conner's Week 16 status will be confirmed when the Cardinals' inactives are posted prior to Saturday's 8:15 ET kickoff. If active, he'd presumably work in a time-share with Chase Edmonds.

Believes he'll play Saturday Conner (heel) relayed Thursday that he believes he'll suit up Saturday versus the Colts, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact After failing to practice in any capacity this week, Conner still received the questionable tag from the Cardinals. The decision lines up with coach Kliff Kingsbury terming Conner a game-time decision ahead of Saturday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, according to Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site. Conner himself noted that his ankle injury from last week isn't an issue anymore, so his availability this weekend will come down to pain management with his heel. If Conner is out or limited Saturday, Chase Edmonds stands to benefit the most out of Arizona's backfield.

DECEMBER 23, 2021 • AZCARDINALS.COM

Status in question for Saturday Conner (heel) is listed as questionable for Saturday's contest against the Colts, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Conner didn't practice at all this week due to a heel injury that has him trending toward being a game-time decision for Saturday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, coach Kliff Kingsbury told Urban earlier Thursday. If Conner is able to suit up, he may yield a majority share of the backfield to Chase Edmonds, especially with his long-term health in mind.

Viewed as game-day decision Week 16 Arizona head coach Kliff Kingsbury said after Thursday's practice that Conner (heel) is considered a game-day decision as Saturday's contest against the Colts approaches, Darren Ur...

Impact Expect Arizona to officially list Conner as questionable on its final Week 16 injury report, which will be released later Thursday. After being listed as a non-participant on practice reports Tuesday and Wednesday, Conner will likely get the same tag again Thursday, as Howard Balzer of SI.com noted that the running back wasn't taking part in the portion of the workout that was open to the media. Given the lack of practice reps this week, Conner may be trending toward sitting out or having his workload limited against Indianapolis, which would might set Chase Edmonds up for a lead role out of the backfield in his second game back from injured reserve.

No practice Wednesday Conner (heel) didn't practice Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Conner has yet to be listed as anything more than a non-participant on the Cardinals' first two Week 16 practice reports. There's been no word from the team whether he's in danger of sitting out Saturday against the Colts, but his status bears watching to get a sense of his availability. Conner split backfield reps with Chase Edmonds this past Sunday in Detroit, earning 42 percent of snaps and 10 touches to the latter's 40 and six, respectively.

James Conner listed as DNP in 1st injury report of the week The Cardinals did not practice Tuesday but released their first injury report of the week.

DECEMBER 22, 2021 • USATODAY.COM

Tending to heel injury Conner (heel) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Conner tended to an ankle issue last week before welcoming back Chase Edmonds (ankle) to the backfield following a four-game IR stint. The pair split the RB reps this past Sunday at Detroit, with Conner logging a 42 percent snap share and 10 touches and Edmonds turning 40 percent of those plays into six carries. Conner now is dealing with a heel injury, so his status again will need to be watched to get a sense of his availability for Saturday's game against the Colts.
