Cardinals HC Mike LaFleur said Monday that RB Jeremiyah Love suffered a new right ankle injury in the Week 8 win over the Cowboys. Love suffered a high right ankle sprain in the preseason, hurt his left ankle in Week 2, and then suffered this new right ankle injury vs. Dallas. LaFleur didn't give any more details on the latest injury, but we'd be surprised if Love played against the Seahawks this weekend. It's starting to feel like a lost rookie season. Arizona also lost RB Bam Knight to a concussion yesterday, leaving him no better than 50/50 for Week 9. His absence would likely leave Tyler Allgeier in an every-down role.

Cardinals RB Bam Knight sustained a concussion in the second quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys and won't return. RB Jeremiyah Love remains questionable to return with his ankle injury, but Arizona is down to RB Tyler Allgeier for now.

Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love suffered an apparent right ankle injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys. That's the same ankle he hurt this preseason. Love eventually headed back to the locker room with trainers. Stay tuned for an update.

Update: Love is officially questionable to return with an ankle injury.

Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Rams. The team is getting him some much-needed rest for a left-ankle injury he's been battling for the past couple of weeks, but HC Mike LaFleur said Friday that the team is not considering placing Love on IR. His absence this weekend leaves Arizona's backfield to Tyler Allgeier and Zonovan Knight. Expect Allgeier to handle the vast majority of the work, but he gets just about the worst possible spot with the Cardinals 12.5-point road underdogs. Allgeier checks in 22nd in our updated Week 6 RB rankings.

The Cardinals placed RB Bam Knight on IR with the ankle injury suffered in Sunday's loss to the Texans. He's the third Arizona RB to be lost for the season, following James Conner and Trey Benson. The backfield is now down to Michael Carter and Emari Demercado. Carter dominated work in Houston, tallying 14 carries and four targets to Demercado's one carry and three targets. We're expecting Demercado to be a bit more involved the rest of the way, but Carter is the far superior fantasy bet. And he gets nice matchups the next two weeks vs. the Falcons (19th vs. RBs) and Bengals (32nd).

Cardinals RB Bam Knight hurt an ankle in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Texans and was carted back to the locker room. He's officially questionable to return, but we'd be surprised if we saw him back out there today. Knight's absence leaves Arizona with RBs Michael Carter and Emari Demercado.

Update: Knight has been ruled out.

Cardinals RB Bam Knight suffered an ankle injury in the second half of Sunday's game vs. the Seahawks and is questionable to return. His absence leaves the backfield to Emari Demercado and Michael Carter.

Cardinals RB Emari Demercado is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Colts with an ankle injury. His absence leaves the backfield to Michael Carter and Bam Knight. We'll update Demercado's status when we know more.

Michael Carter led the Cardinals backfield Sunday in the first game since RB Trey Benson went down with a knee injury. Carter handled 18 of the 25 RB rushes in the Week 5 loss to the Titans. He also drew five of the team's six RB targets, tying Marvin Harrison Jr. for second on the team in that category. Carter caught all five of those to match TE Trey McBride for the team reception lead. But his yardage efficiency in both phases failed to impress.

Emari Demercado generated the most rushing yards Sunday in a Cardinals backfield spreading the work around after losing both James Conner and Trey Benson to knee injuries. But Demercado overshadowed the work split and his performance and effectively lost his team the game by voluntarily dropping the ball before he crossed the goal line on what should have been a long fourth-quarter TD run.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero now reports that (via miscommunication) he was incorrect this morning on the status of RB David Montgomery. The Lions RB is expected to return from his thigh injury for Thursday night's game against the Packers. Assuming this proves true, Montgomery should be back in the low-RB2 mix for fantasy football lineups. Rookie RB Jahmyr Gibbs, meanwhile, should see a big decrease in his rushing share vs. Sunday's game. Craig Reynolds and Zonovan Knight can go back to being guys we forget are there. Detroit is also expected to get LT Taylor Decker back, which can only help both the run and pass offense.

Update: Pelissero adds that Montgomery will be the "lead back," with "plenty" still in the plan for Gibbs as well. We'll trust that he's not working off miscommunication this time. Check your Team Intel page or the Week 4 rankings before setting your lineup.

Jets RB Zonovan Knight is not listed on the Week 16 injury report. HC Robert Saleh earlier in the day labeled Knight questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Jaguars with the ankle he banged up in the loss to the Lions, but he'll evidently be available.

Jets HC Robert Saleh labeled RB Zonovan Knight questionable but "arrow up" for Thursday night's game vs. the Jaguars, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. Knight missed some time in yesterday's loss to the Lions with an ankle injury but eventually returned. We'll keep a close eye on his status over the next couple of days. If Knight can't play on Thursday, we'd likely see RB Michael Carter lead a committee alongside Ty Johnson and James Robinson.

Jets RB Michael Carter (ankle) is not listed on the Week 14 injury report. So he'll be back for Sunday's game vs. the Bills -- and should be at least close to 100%. The question now becomes how touches will be divvied in this backfield. HC Robert Saleh said Wednesday that RB Zonovan Knight is "not going anywhere," so expect him to remain significantly involved. RBs Ty Johnson and/or James Robinson also might continue to mix in. It's a messy situation and a tough matchup this weekend.

Jets RB Michael Carter suffered an ankle injury in the 2nd half of Sunday's game vs. the Bears and is officially doubtful to return. With RB James Robinson scratched, New York is down to RBs Zonovan Knight and Ty Johnson.
