TEMPE, Ariz. — The Arizona Cardinals running back room was depleted even more Tuesday when Bam Knight was put on injured reserve with an ankle injury, ending his season with three games left.
Knight suffered the injury in Sunday’s 40-20 loss to the Houston Texans.
Knight is the third Cardinals running back on injured reserve, joining James Conner and Trey Benson.
After Benson suffered a knee injury in Week 4, Knight shared the ball-toting duties with Emari Demercado and Michael Carter, starting eight of the 12 games he played in this season.
