The Arizona Cardinals have some roster decisions to make by the end of the week, and the running back room has an important one. What will the Cardinals do with running back James Conner?
He isn't in any real danger of being cut, as he has $2.1 million of his more than $2.3 million in salary guaranteed. He is coming off a severe ankle injury last season, but he has not participated yet in any 11-on-11 work in practices.
Head coach Mike LaFleur has been adamant that the team will trust Conner in communicating when he will be ready to play, as he knows his body best.
"We're going to lean on him and how he feels," LaFleur reiterated on Wednesday in Green Bay. "Again, that was a gruesome injury, but he's he's progressing well and we'll take it one day at a time with him."
However, he did admit that the regular season is "starting to creep up," but that he can't project when Conner will be able to practice.
