The Cardinals placed Chase Edmonds on injured reserve Saturday, Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network reports. Edmonds was already known to be out this Sunday versus the Panthers, but this placement means he will have to miss at least two additional games. Edmonds has a high ankle sprain, and those injuries usually take approximately 4-6 weeks to recover from, so this placement was nothing more than a formality.
In his absence, the Cardinals will likely use a combination of James Conner and Eno Benjamin as their primary ball carriers. One could make a strong argument that Conner is the fantasy MVP this season as he has rushed for 10 touchdowns and caught an additional one.
