Benson Nearing Return: Cardinals RB Back Soon?
25 Nov
Summary
- Running back Trey Benson is close to returning from injured reserve.
- He suffered a knee injury and underwent arthroscopic surgery.
- Benson is expected to resume lead-back duties upon his return.
Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson is on the cusp of returning to action after being sidelined since Week 4 due to a knee injury. Following arthroscopic surgery, Benson was placed on injured reserve but recently had the clock started on his return.
While he did not play in Week 12, Benson participated in three limited practices last week, fueling hope for his appearance in Week 13. Head coach Jonathan Gannon has yet to provide a definitive update, but Benson's practice participation suggests a strong possibility of playing this Sunday.
Benson initially took over the Cardinals' backfield following James Conner's season-ending injury, though his own injury cut his opportunity short. Upon his return, he is anticipated to reclaim lead-back responsibilities from Bam Knight, allowing the team to evaluate their 2024 third-round pick.
