Michael Carter Set for Potential Promotion on Monday
Michael Carter is a candidate for promotion from the practice squad ahead of Monday’s matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. This comes as the Arizona Cardinals, dealing with significant injuries in their backfield, look for solutions.
Running Back Situation
Head Coach Jonathan Gannon confirmed that Bam Knight will be the starting running back for the game. The Cardinals have faced challenges this season due to injuries impacting key players.
- James Conner: Out for the season with a foot injury.
- Trey Benson: Currently on injured reserve (IR) due to a knee injury.
- Emari Demercado: Expected to return after missing several weeks with an ankle injury, his first appearance since Week 6.
Current Roster Dynamics
As the Cardinals prepare for Week 9, Demercado stands as the only other running back on the active roster besides Knight. In this context, Carter’s elevation from the practice squad may address some depth issues.
Even though Michael Carter may join the active roster, his season performance has been underwhelming. He averages only 2.8 yards per carry, raising concerns about his effectiveness in the upcoming game.
As the Cardinals navigate their injury crisis, the team’s strategy will be crucial. Fans will be watching closely to see how Carter’s potential promotion affects the dynamics of the game against the Cowboys.
