Trey Benson is back in the Arizona Cardinals' injury room with a "flare-up" to his surgically repaired left knee, according to head coach Mike LaFleur.
The issue does not sound particularly serious, with LaFleur saying he does not expect Benson's absence to stretch across multiple weeks. It seems likely, though, that Benson will miss the Hall of Fame Game on Thursday, Aug. 6.
"I wouldn't say (I'd be) shocked if he goes in Canton, but I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't go," LaFleur said.
Even if Benson misses minimal time, it's a frustrating setback for a player who has been unable to stay healthy. He tore his meniscus last September, attempted a return in November and was shut down for the season when the injury did not respond well to an increased workload.
In part because Benson missed so much time, the Cardinals addressed their running back room aggressively this offseason, rather than relying on the 2024 third-round pick. They reworked James Conner's contract to avoid cutting him, signed Tyler Allgeier in free agency and, of course, drafted Jeremiyah Love with the third overall pick.
