Cardinals HC Kliff Kingsbury told reporters Wednesday that RB James Conner (heel) and WR Rondale Moore (ankle) are expected to be game-day decisions Week 17.

Week 17's matchup is worse for Conner than Moore, but with the playoffs (and fantasy championships) in the balance, both are needed this week.

The Cardinals didn’t hold a practice on Tuesday, but they did issue an injury report because they will be hosting the Colts on Christmas.

That report says that running back James Conner would not have practiced because of a heel injury.

It’s a new ailment for Conner, who had eight carries for 39 yards and two catches for 31 yards in Arizona’s Week 15 loss to the Lions.

The activation will generate a committee in the backfield for Arizona. James Conner is dealing with an ankle injury of his own and should allow Edmonds a workload that is serviceable for fantasy against a exploitable Detroit run defense.

Edmonds could see RB1 usage of Conner ends up with an inactive tag. Monitor the status of the starting running back before confidently inserting Edmonds into your lineup.

Cardinals RB James Conner (ankle) and TE Zach Ertz (hamstring) are questionable for Week 15's game at the Detroit Lions.

Edmonds reportedly looked good at practice and could be activated for the game against Detroit. Ertz popped up on the injury report Friday so his status is one to watch carefully Sunday.

Kliff Kingsbury said DeAndre Hopkins is having an MRI for a leg injury. No further information.

Kingsbury also said RB James Conner will get an MRI on his ankle.

Urban's tweet added that Kingsbury said Conner probably has played too many snaps in Edmonds' absence but that Conner has held up to this point. Hopefully for the Cards and for fantasy owners, Conner will be OK for his Week 15 matchup. The good news is the team plays an early Sunday game at Detroit so owners will know Conner's status in advance if he's a game-time call. The team could be close to activating Edmonds as well, as reports said he was close to going in Week 14 against the Rams.

The Cardinals did NOT activate RB Chase Edmonds before tonight's game.

Three of the last four weeks Conner has logged 20 or more carries, and in that span he's recorded six touchdowns, including two receiving TDs He has 17 targets over the last four games as well. Benjamin will be the backup to Conner and has averaged about six touches over the last four games, that includes just three touches in Week 13. As the tweet said, this is shaping up to the James Conner Show vs. the Rams.

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds has been designated to return from injured reserve.

Edmonds has been sidelined since Week 9 with an ankle injury but looks to be nearing a return. The Cardinals designated him to return from I.R. and now have 21 days to activate him or send him to season-ending injured reserve. James Conner has been a workhorse in his absence but will likely revert back to a committee role if Edmonds is active for Monday night. James Conner is currently our 16th ranked running back for Week 14.

The status will hold Edmonds out until Week 14 following three games and one bye week. Eno Benjamin and James Conner will handle the backfield for the Arizona Cardinals in the meantime.

James Conner should see a bump in work but Eno Benjamin figures to be the biggest beneficiary of this loss. He recently posted 39 yards and a touchdown on nine carries in a win over San Francisco.

The Cardinals were without QB Kyler Murray (ankle), WRs DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) and Rondale Moore (concussion/neck), and RB Chase Edmonds (ankle) at Wednesday's practice.

The Cardinals have two more practices to hope for the best.
