Team news: Arizona Cardinals | Page 11

The Cardinals have activated RB James Conner for Sunday’s game against the Falcons.

The Cardinals now have two of their biggest playmakers back for Sunday as quarterback Kyler Murray is also returning. Conner gives the Cardinals a huge boost in the running game, especially with Emari Demercado also injured. Conner should be plenty of touches as a result and should be considered as an RB2 this week.

Cardinals OL Trystan Colon and RB Emari Demercado are OUT against the Falcons.

James Conner, D.J. Humphries, Will Hernandez and Michael Wilson are among those listed as questionable.

The Cardinals backfield has been mostly uninspiring since Conner went down in Week 5, so this is good news for the team and fantasy managers alike. We could see a Conner-Kyler Murray pairing as early as this week, and if Conner is floating around a waiver wire for whatever reason, he needs to be added ASAP.

Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon makes it official: Kyler Murray will start.

We could expect a little rust, but Murray is a huge upgrade over fifth-round rookie Tune, and he gets a nice matchup against an Atlanta Falcons defense that ranks 27th in QB aFPA.

Jaguars coach Doug Pederson says Zay Jones is a longshot to play Sunday. Tyson Campbell and Andre Cisco look ready.

Jones has only been involved in three games this season, opening the door for Jamal Agnew and Tim Jones to log more snaps. Kirk and Engram have continued to thrive in this offense after their respective breakouts in 2022.

The Cardinals have waived RB Tony Jones from the 53-man roster.

Perhaps a sign that James Conner will be activated to the 53-man roster in time for Sunday's game after returning to practice this week.

Murray is in line to start in Week 10 barring any kind of setback. Murray has been practicing for a while, so the assumption is he'll be good to go. Murray gets a much better matchup this week vs. Atlanta than he would have last week against Cleveland. As a result, we rank Murray 14th among our QBs, so the thinking is he'll produce at a higher-end QB2 level.

The Arizona Cardinals hope to open the practice window for running back James Conner, who has missed the past four games due to a knee injury and is now eligible to return off the injured reserve list, reports ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

“He’s doing well,” Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said Monday. “He’ll ramp up and we’ll see how he does. Hopefully, we’ll get him out there, too,”

Opening Conner’s practice window this week would give him a 21-day designated to return period to work with his teammates before Arizona would be required to activate him to fill a roster spot or shut him down, the story said. The team is also looking to start QB Kyler Murray this week. Before going down with the injury, Conner had racked up 68 carries for 364 yards (5.4 yards per carry) and two touchdowns through five starts. He added 30 more yards on eight catches, the story said.

There is a catch however as the post went on to say: IF all goes well in practice this week. But keep in mind Murray has been practicing since his window opened. Gannon says Murray will take the reps with starters this week, so barring a setback, it will be Murray in Week 10.
