Cardinals RB James Conner (knee) banged up vs. Panthers
Dec 22, 2024; Charlotte, North Carolina, USA; Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (6) runs for a touchdown score against the Carolina Panthers during the second quarter at Bank of America Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Jim Dedmon-Imagn Images Arizona Cardinals standout running back James Conner injured his right knee during Sunday's 36-30 overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers.
Conner exited in the third quarter while enjoying a huge game with 166 scrimmage yards. He had 117 yards and one touchdown on 15 rushes and caught four passes for 49 yards.
Conner, 29, also reached 1,000 yards rushing for the second straight season. His total sits at a career-best 1,090.
Conner has topped 100 yards rushing in back-to-back games and six times this season.
Whether the two-time Pro Bowler will be healthy for Saturday's game against the host Los Angeles Rams isn't yet known.
Also, the Cardinals (7-8) were eliminated from playoff contention with the loss to the Panthers and that could prompt the team to hold Conner out for the final two games.
Conner recently signed a two-year, $19 million extension through the 2026 season.
