The Arizona Cardinals will be without their lead running back for the remainder of the season. James Conner is expected to undergo ankle surgery that will sideline him through the rest of the 2025 campaign.
Conner had been a key piece of Arizona’s offense, offering reliability on the ground and as a veteran presence in the locker room. His absence leaves a significant hole in the Cardinals’ backfield and will force the team to rely on younger options and depth pieces moving forward.
With Conner out, Arizona may also explore outside additions to stabilize their rushing attack. The loss adds another hurdle for the Cardinals as they look to stay competitive in a challenging NFC West.
