Trey Benson Injury Update: Cardinals Depleted RB Room Faces New Challenges

Cardinals' Trey Benson Placed on IR: A Season-Defining Injury for Arizona's Struggling Running Backs
Trey Benson's knee injury has dealt another blow to the Arizona Cardinals' already-depleted running backs room. Benson's injury, confirmed by ESPN, will require arthroscopic surgery on his meniscus and has been placed on injured reserve, meaning he'll miss at least four games.
The Cardinals' running backs room has been a source of concern all season, with lead back James Conner suffering a season-ending foot injury in Week 3. Emari Demercado, a traditional third-down back, will likely take over as the starter, but the team's roster also includes former Jets fourth-round pick Michael Carter and Zonovan 'Bam' Knight.
As the Cardinals prepare to take on the Titans in Week 5, one thing is clear: the running backs room will be a key story to watch. 'It's never about one guy to me,' coach Jonathan Gannon said. 'Everyone's got to do their job.' Fantasy football enthusiasts will be watching closely to see how Demercado and the other backs perform, with matchups playing a crucial role in determining which players to start.
