Is Trey Benson coming back in Week 14? Latest on injury, return schedule for Cardinals RB

The Arizona Cardinals faced Week 13 without running back Trey Benson, who remains sidelined due to injury. The second-year player has been on injured reserve since Week 5 after sustaining a knee injury in Week 4 that required arthroscopic surgery.

Benson had been cleared for practice in recent weeks but saw a decrease in participation last week, raising questions about his readiness for Week 14.

Week 14 Playing Chances

Currently, Benson's likelihood of playing in Week 14 is under 50%. He was downgraded from a limited participant to a non-participant during Thursday and Friday practices, suggesting a possible setback, though this has not been officially confirmed.

Head coach Jonathan Gannon avoided calling it a setback, noting that Bensons progress is evaluated on a day-to-day basis. As Benson remains on injured reserve, the next critical step for his activation will be next week, with the Cardinals facing a roster deadline on December 10.

Next Steps

Once designated to return from injured reserve, the Cardinals have 21 days to activate Benson. If they choose to wait and allow extra recovery time, its likely he will not return until Week 15. Fans can expect the next official update during Wednesdays injury report.
