The Arizona Cardinals lost three running backs to injury in their 20-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. At least two of them will miss this week’s game on the road against the Seattle Seahawks.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Jonathan Ward, who pulled his hamstring early in Sunday’s game, will be placed on injured reserve and will have to miss at least four games.
Starter James Conner, who suffered a rib injury, is more day-to-day. His status will be know more later in the week.
Darrel Williams, who suffered a knee injury, is out this week.
That leaves Eno Benjamin and rookie Keaontay Ingram as the only healthy backs on the roster.
Ingram will get to make his NFL debut and, if Conner is unable to play or is at all limited, will likely see playing time on offense.
The Cardinals will only hold a walkthrough Wednesday instead of a full practice and their first injury report will be released Wednesday afternoon.
