Cardinals RB Bam Knight dealing with 'bad' ankle sprain

Adam Schefter on X

Dec 15, 2025 · 11:50 AM EST

Cardinals RB Bam Knight, who was carted off Sunday with an ankle injury, suffered what is being described as “a bad sprain.”

Related players: Emari Demercado, Michael Carter, Corey Kiner

Fantasy Impact:

Schefter went on to say that nothing is broken, which is good news, but Knight is unlikely to play in Week 16. Knight will undergo an MRI today. With Knight out, it was Carter who got 14 carries and also added four catches for 38 yards in passing game. Demercado could factor in with Knight out, too, but he only had three touches this past week. Kiner had two rushes for 11 yards. The Cards have a home game against the Falcons in the later window on Sunday.

Cardinals rule out WR Marvin Harrison Jr., RB Emari Demercado for Week 12

Marvin Harrison Jr, Emari Demercado, Baron Browning will not play in #JAXvsAZ, per Gannon.

Also, Jonah Williams will be placed on IR.

Fantasy Impact:

Knight looks like he's in position to be the main ball-carrier for at least one more week, as a potential Trey Benson return could be on the horizon. Consider him around the RB2/3 fringe in Week 12.

Wilson was the obvious beneficiary in the pass-catching part of the offense, turning 18 (!!) Week 11 targets into a massive 15-185-0 stat line. It would be hard to fade him after that performance, and he could be a legit WR2 in Week 12 as Jacoby Brissett continues to sling the ball around the field.

Cardinals RB Emari Demercado has high ankle sprain

ESPN

Nov 18, 2025 · 10:09 AM EST

Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado suffered a high ankle sprain and is unlikely to play Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday.

Demercado left in the second quarter of Arizona's 41-22 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday after rushing for 8 yards on five attempts and catching two passes for 12 yards. Bam Knight also had five carries for the Cardinals, rushing for 24 yards and a touchdown.

Related players: Trey Benson, Zonovan Knight, Michael Carter

Fantasy Impact:

The story said it's possible Benson is activated from the IR. If not, Knight and Carter would likely split the workload with Carter seeing passing down action. Even if Benson is back, he may not gather a full workload his first week back, but would probably be the back to own in fantasy going forward.
