Cardinals won't activate RB Trey Benson, rule out G Will Hernandez
Our Summary
Running back Trey Benson will not return to the Arizona Cardinals lineup for Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Although designated to return from injured reserve, head coach Jonathan Gannon confirmed Benson will not be activated as he continues recovery from a knee injury sustained in Week 4. Emari Demercado's absence from practice this week suggests Bam Knight and Michael Carter will be the primary running backs for the matchup.
In other injury news, right guard Will Hernandez will miss the game due to hip and knee injuries. Rookie defensive tackle Walter Nolen has also been ruled out with a knee injury. However, wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. may return after missing two games following an appendectomy, having participated in practice this week. The team is expected to release their full injury report later today.
