Trey Benson, the Arizona Cardinals running back, was placed on injured reserve due to a knee injury sustained in a Week 4 game against the Seattle Seahawks. He underwent arthroscopic surgery on his meniscus and is expected to be sidelined for 4 to 6 weeks. This injury follows the season-ending foot injury of the Cardinals' star running back James Conner, which had elevated Benson to a larger role. Benson had started the season as a backup but was performing well before the injury, including a career-high 69 rushing yards in Week 1. With Benson out, the Cardinals will rely on other running backs such as Emari Demercado and Michael Carter. Benson is expected to return later this season after recovering from surgery.
