James Conner, the star running back for the Arizona Cardinals, having been out with a knee injury suffered in Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals, has now had his injury designation reported by NFL insider Ian Rapoport:
The #AZCardinals are activating starting RB James Conner from Injured Reserve and he’ll play Sunday, sources say. So, Kyler Murray and Conner back for AZ.

What This Means For The Arizona Cardinals
Having been designated to return off of injury reserve earlier this week, James Conner always had a decent shot to return this Sunday alongside franchise (for now) quarterback, Conner has attained over 1000 yards from scrimmage over the past two season with the Arizona Cardinals, and has been the cog that the entire offense has run through over that time.
This could not have come at a better time for the returning Kyler Murray; for having his main running back beside him in his first start in nearly an entire calendar year will certainly be a reassuring feeling for the young QB. Especially considering the fill-ins, such as rookie Emari Demercado, have been less than spectacular over the past 4 games.
Let’s see if the Cardinals can utilize James Conner and Kyler Murray to restart their offense and get their season back on track, after a dismal 1-8 start to the season.
