Cardinals Get Unlucky Damage Replace On Key Participant

 

When it rains, it pours for the Arizona Cardinals. They will’t appear to catch a break this season, particularly with accidents.

Coming off their Week 11 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, the Cardinals acquired an unlucky harm replace on a key participant.

“Preliminary exams revealed that Cardinals RB Emari Demercado suffered a excessive ankle sprain towards the 49ers and now could be unlikely to play Sunday vs. the [Jacksonville] Jaguars, per supply,” Adam Schefter wrote on X.

A excessive ankle sprain often results in a multiweek absence. Demercado left the sport within the second quarter after gaining eight yards on 5 carries and making two receptions for 12 yards.

In his absence, Arizona turned to Bam Knight, and he had 24 yards and one landing in 5 carries.

The Cardinals might have Trey Benson obtainable towards the Jaguars. He’s coping with a knee harm, however might be activated from injured reserve. If not, Knight and Michael Carter would be the choices out of the backfield.

Demercado has 31 carries for 241 dashing yards this season, with one landing. Whereas not a star by any means, he appeared to be the perfect wager to take some stress off…
