Who Should I Start? Tony Jones Jr. or George Holani

The Arizona Cardinals signed veteran free-agent running back Tony Jones to the practice squad on Wednesday, according to NFL.com. The 27-year-old was on the team's preseason roster but was released just ahead of the regular season. With Emari Demercado (back) on Injured Reserve and Trey Benson (ankle) dealing with an ankle injury, the Cardinals running back rook behind James Conner is beginning to get thin. DeeJay Dallas would likely operate as the RB2 behind Conner against the Carolina Panthers this weekend if Benson can't play, but Jones could be elevated to the active roster and back him up. Jones has rushed 93 times for 274 yards and two touchdowns in 25 career games with the Saints, Seahawks, and Cardinals.

Seattle Seahawks running back George Holani was elevated from the team's practice squad ahead of their matchup against the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the news. With fellow running back Kenneth Walker (ankle, calf) deemed questionable after back-to-back DNPs to end the week, Seattle will elect to go with a bit of insurance in the 24-year-old rookie. The first-year back was a five-year runner at Boise State and was signed by Seattle as an undrafted free agent this past offseason. Holani has been up once before this year but has yet to log a snap in 2024. With Walker seemingly on the wrong end of his designation, backfield mate Zach Charbonnet projects to lead Seattle's ground attack if he can't suit up. Running back Kenny McIntosh hasn't logged a snap since Week 7, so Holani could be the one mixing in behind Charbonnet in their divisional clash.
