Cardinals RB James Conner (ankle) out for season

Sep 22 · 6:23 PM EDT

Coach Jonathan Gannon confirms that James Conner will have surgery and is done for the season.

Related players: Trey Benson, Emari Demercado, Zonovan Knight

Fantasy Impact:

We reported earlier today Conner would need surgery and be out indefinitely, but this outcome shouldn't come as any surprise given the way Conner left the field in Week 3. Benson will take over as the lead back and there was another report today Demcercado will slide in as the team's RB2. The Cards could make a move for another back at some point, but for now, look for Benson to be given the first chance to be the new RB1.

Cardinals RB James Conner needs ankle sugery

Cardinals RB James Conner, who was carted off with his ankle immobilized, will need surgery to repair the injury he suffered, sources say.

Related players: Trey Benson, Emari Demercado, Zonovan Knight

Fantasy Impact:

Conner is still undergoing tests to determine the full extent of the damage. But, he is out indefinitely, the post went on to say. Benson will likely take over the lead back duties, and should get usage in both the running and passing game. If for some reason he's still on your waiver wire, he'll be a popular target this week. Benson had three catches but for just nine yards, however, he did end up with 10 carries for 42 yards on the ground. It's possible the team looks to bring in another back with Conner seemingly out a while.

James Conner carted off field with ankle injury

Cardinals RB James Conner was carted off the field following an ankle injury during the third quarter against the 49ers.

Fantasy Impact:

The fact that both teams came out onto the field in support of Conner as well as the broadcast not initially showing a replay (RedZone did later show a replay) may tell you all you need to know about the situation. Conner had nine rushes for 22 yards and 15 yards on three catches. Look for 2024 third-round pick Trey Benson, who was already getting more work, to step into the lead role.
