The Cardinals have activated RB James Conner (knee) has been activated from the injured list ahead of the Falcons game.
Kyler Murray’s return will not be the only sight in the desert on Sunday.
The Arizona Cardinals have activated running back James Conner (knee) from injured reserve ahead of their Week 10 game against the Atlanta Falcons, according to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.
According to Rapoport, Conner will play on Sunday after missing the previous four games.
Despite his recent absence, Conner is still the team’s rushing leader halfway through the 2023 season. In five games, the 28-year-old has rushed for 364 yards, averaging 5.4 yards per carry, and scoring two touchdowns.
Conner was instrumental in Arizona’s lone victory of the season, rushing the Dallas Cowboys for 116 yards and scoring the game’s first touchdown on a five-yard run. His bruising running style fueled a feisty Cardinals team in the early going, but Arizona has yet to find offensive traction since he suffered a knee injury in Week 5.
Last week, the Cardinals were shut out by the Cleveland Browns.
With the return of Conner and Murray this Sunday, the offense’s woes should improve. Arizona has waited 11 months for the return of its franchise quarterback, and Conner will be right by Murray’s side.
