Cardinals' Bam Knight: Impressive to open preseason
Knight rushed 12 times for 60 yards in the Cardinals' 33-30 preseason loss to the Panthers on Thursday. He also fumbled once but recovered.
The journeyman back is looking to run it back with the Cardinals after making a positive impression during an injury-riddled 2025 for the Arizona backfield. Knight started Thursday's game and saw action into the first drive of the second half, fumbling at the end of his longest run of the night -- 15 yards -- late in the second quarter but falling back on the ball. Knight finished as the team leader in rushing yards, but he figures to have an uphill battle to stick on the final roster in a very crowded running back room headlined by rookie first-round pick Jeremiyah Love along with Tyler Allgeier, James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson.

Cardinals' Bam Knight: Staying with Arizona
Knight is re-signing with the Cardinals on a one-year contract, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Knight was Arizona's lead runner at one point in 2025, but only after James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson (knee) both suffered season-ending injuries. Conner and Benson still are under contract, now joined by free-agent addition Tyler Allgeier. It doesn't look good for Knight landing any higher than third or fourth on the depth chart come training camp. He should at least be healthy, having reportedly avoided surgery on the ankle injury that ended his 2025 season in December.

Cardinals' Bam Knight: Shut down for season
The Cardinals placed Knight (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday, Zach Gershman of the team's official site reports.
Knight played just one snap in Sunday's 40-20 loss to the Texans before exiting the contest with a left ankle sprain. While follow-up tests revealed no structural damage, his sprain is significant enough to sideline him for the final three games of the season. With Knight joining James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson (knee) on injured reserve, Arizona will be left with Michael Carter and Emari Demercado as its primary backfield options. Knight will be a restricted free agent this offseason after he gained 269 yards on 82 carries (3.3 YPC) and four touchdowns to go with 160 yards and another score on 22 catches over 12 appearances for Arizona.

Cardinals' Bam Knight: Believed to have sprain
Knight (ankle) is set for an MRI after being carted off the field during Sunday's 40-20 loss to Houston, but he's believed to be dealing with a sprain, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Knight appears to have avoided a severe injury, with league sources telling Schefter that the running back is nursing "a bad sprain," but that could still notably impact his availability for the last three weeks of the regular season. Emari Demercado and Michael Carter will be positioned as Arizona's clear backfield leaders if Knight misses any time, with James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson (knee) both already having been lost for the year. Knight's first opportunity to attempt to prove he's healthy enough to play Week 16 against the Falcons will come during Wednesday's practice.

Cardinals' Bam Knight: Won't return Sunday
Knight (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game versus the Texans.
Knight logged just one carry for minus-2 yards before exiting and being carted to he locker room in the first quarter. The 24-year-old has been serving as the Cardinals' top running back due to James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson (knee) both being out for the season. Over the last eight games prior to Week 15, Knight recorded 77 rushes for 260 yards and three touchdowns to go along with 21 catches (on 30 targets). His next opportunity to take the field will come Week 16 versus the Falcons on Sunday, Dec. 21. In Knight's absence, Emari Demercado and Michael Carter will carry the load at running back.

Cardinals' Bam Knight: Suffers ankle injury
Knight exited Sunday's game at Houston due to an ankle injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Knight had his left ankle pinned under a Texans defender as he was tackled to the turf early in the first quarter. Per Urban, Knight was carted to the locker room and soon after was deemed questionable to return. Michael Carter and Emari Demercado are left as the likeliest candidates to carry Arizona's backfield for as long as Knight is sidelined.
