James Conner "Trending In The Right Direction" To Play In Week 10
1 year agoArizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said that running back James Conner (knee) is "trending in the right direction" to return from Injured Reserve and play in Week 10 against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Conner has already missed the required four games on IR and was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday. The 28-year-old will most likely be listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report, but he appears to be on the right track to be officially activated from IR on Saturday and play on Sunday. It's also worth noting that rookie Emari Demercado (toe) hasn't practiced in the last two weeks and looks likely to miss another game, so Conner's return would come at a good time for the Cardinals. He'll be Arizona's lead back when he returns, but he could have his workload limited in his first game back. UPDATE: Conner is officially questionable to play in Week 10.
