James Conner News
Monday, August 24, 5:37 PM
Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (foot) did not participate in Monday's practice. Conner is recovering from a dislocated ankle/foot that required season-ending surgery last season. The veteran running back has yet to take part in 11-on-11 drills at training camp, though he has been seen in individual drills throughout camp. With the team signing former Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier and drafting Jeremiyah Love with the fourth-overall pick, Conner is likely to be in a reserve role during the 2026 season. If Love (ankle) misses time early in the season due to his high-ankle sprain, Conner could see action if he's healthy and ready to go against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Emanuel Wilson News
Sunday, August 16, 5:18 PM
Seattle Seahawks running back Emanuel Wilson (hamstring) did not play in the team's preseason opener against the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday. His absence was likely caused by a hamstring injury that he suffered in a scrimmage during practice on Tuesday. The good news is that head coach Mike Macdonald said Wilson's injury "is a short-term thing," so we should see him back on the field relatively soon. Prior to the hamstring ailment, the 27-year-old had been running with the first-team offense. Zach Charbonnet (knee) continues to recover from an ACL tear, so Wilson projects to start at running back when the Seahawks take the field in Week 1 of the regular season against the New England Patriots. As long as Charbonnet is sidelined, Wilson ranks as a low-end RB2 or high-end RB3 in fantasy football.
