Team news: Arizona Cardinals | Page 39

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner missed Thursday's practice with an ankle injury.

Conner has emerged as a touchdown machine for the Arizona Cardinals and will remain the lead back when Chase Edmonds returns from injury. Conner will need to practice in some fashion on Friday to be active for Sunday's contest against the Lions, but the team remains optimistic. If he cannot go, Chase Edmonds, who has been practicing but has no participation level listed due to still being on injured reserve, will be back in a lead back role with Eno Benjamin backing him up. Conner is currently our 21st ranked running back for Week 15.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (ankle) and RBs Miles Sanders (ankle) and Jordan Howard (knee) were limited participants Wednesday.

It's all a mess for Philly coming out of their bye. Friday's final injury report will have the best idea of how to tackle the Eagles offense.

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.

Like it or not, this isn’t a question of job security and won’t be anytime soon. The Titans already doubled down on Ryan Tannehill by restructuring his contract at a greater cost in the future. He’s not going anywhere, and there is no scenario other than serious injury in which Logan Woodside would ever start games ahead of him.

Thus the Titans – no matter what happens on the field – are sure to continue to fervently support Tannehill. Teammates and coaches will keep pointing to intangibles.

The team acquired Julio Jones to bolster the passing game, but that hasn't worked out as of yet, and both A.J. Brown and Jones have been sidelined more than not. Leading rusher Derrick Henry has also been out leaving the Titan offense shorthanded as a whole. As the story said, Tannehill hasn't been the problem, but he hasn't been good enough to be the solution at least up to now.

The Philadelphia Eagles got a big win over the Jets on Sunday as they head into their late-season bye, and head coach Nick Sirianni spoke to reporters after the game about Jalen Hurts, his injury, and why he’s still the starter when he’s ready to return. He also noted that Gardner Minshew had a good game, their run game is successful because of the offensive line, and Jake Elliott’s consistency makes them comfortable kicking the ball.

Sirianni went on to say Hurts has shown to be one of the best in the league moving around and making plays and when he's healthy, he'll be the starter. Minshew looked good against the struggling Jets and while Hurts has looked good at times, he's also struggled, especially last week against the Giants. The Eagles have a bye in Week 14.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts has been ruled out with an ankle injury. Gardner Minshew will start today against the Jets.

Hurts was questionable after being limited in practice all week with the injury he suffered last week against the Giants. Minshew will make his first start for the Eagles as the team looks to bounce back from a completely disappointing performance last week. Interestingly enough, the Eagles will play their second straight game at MetLife Stadium. Minshew is our No. 18 quarterback.

The Philadelphia Eagle will be without RB Jordan Howard (knee) for a second straight game, while RB Boston Scott (illness) and QB Jalen Hurts (ankle) are questionable.

Minshew took first-team reps for some of the week in case Hurts is out, which is no bueno. Scott should play but if he does not, Sanders should see majority of the running back work.

The Philadelphia Eagles may not have Jalen Hurts available for Sunday's game against the New York Jets, as the starting quarterback is battling a sore ankle suffered in a Week 12 loss to the New York Giants. Coach Nick Sirianni said he'll provide an update on Hurts later in the week, but offensive coordinator Shane Steichen revealed Tuesday the team is preparing Gardner Minshew to start in case Hurts is unable to go.

Philadelphia does have its bye coming up next week, so giving Hurts a week to heal up that ankle for the stretch run is an option. There will be more as the week goes on when it comes to Hurts' status against the Jets in Week 13. Like the Eagles, Hurts fantasy owners may want to have a backup plan just in case.

Ezekiel Elliott (knee), CeeDee Lamb (concussion), Tarell Basham (chest) were all full participants in today’s practice.

Cedrick Wilson (ankle) did not practice for second consecutive day.

Good news for the Cowboys, especially with Lamb and the news Cooper may have to miss Thursday's game because of COVID symptoms. Machota pointed out the Cowboys WRs vs. Saints could be Lamb, Gallup, Brown, Turner and Fehoko.
