Cardinals' Bam Knight: Set for RB1 duties vs. Dallas
Head coach Jonathan Gannon said Saturday that Knight will be the "first one out there" at running back against the Cowboys on Monday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Knight will get the first backfield touches for Monday's game, though Gannon relayed that the Cardinals will go whichever running back in Knight, Emari Demercado and Michael Carter is most effective. Knight was the Cardinals' lead back for the two games prior to the Week 8 bye and posted 25 carries for 91 yards (3.6 YPC) and a touchdown while adding four catches (on six targets) for 27 yards over that span. Week 9 might be Knight's last opportunity for an expanded role on offense if Trey Benson (knee) has recovered enough to be activated off injured reserve for Week 10.

Cardinals' Bam Knight: Leading rusher in Week 7 loss
Knight carried the ball 14 times for 57 yards and caught three of four targets for seven yards in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Packers.
The former Jet and Lion led the Cardinals in rushing yards as he got 17 touches to Michael Carter's nine, although neither back got into the end zone. The Cardinals get a Week 8 bye, but Knight will have at least one more game in a prominent backfield role in Week 9 against the Cowboys, with Trey Benson (knee) required to miss one more game before being eligible to come off IR. Over the three games Benson has missed so far, Knight has collected 142 scrimmage yards and two rushing TDs.

Cardinals' Bam Knight: Full practice Thursday
Knight (knee) practiced fully Thursday.
Knight was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough due to a knee injury, but his return to all activity one day later indicates he's good to resume his backfield committee role with Michael Carter in the absences of James Conner (foot, IR) and Trey Benson (knee, IR). In the Cardinals' Week 6 loss at Indianapolis, Knight earned 37 offensive snaps to Carter's 32, and their stat lines were strikingly similar, as Knight turned 12 touches into 54 yards and one TD, and Carter tallied 11 touches for 64 total yards and no end-zone visits. Such a breakdown of reps is entirely possible Sunday versus the Packers.

Cardinals' Bam Knight: Tending to knee issue
Knight was a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough due to a knee injury, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
While Michael Carter started this past Sunday's loss at Indianapolis, Knight actually logged more offensive snaps (37-32) and touches (12-11), with the former gaining more yards from scrimmage (64-54) and the latter getting into the end zone once. With a health concern now in tow, though, Knight's status will be watched as the week goes on to see if the scales may tip toward Carter as Arizona continues with a backfield committee in the absences of James Conner (foot, IR) and Trey Benson (knee, IR).

Cardinals' Bam Knight: Gets into end zone Sunday
Knight rushed 11 times for 34 yards and a touchdown and brought in one of two targets for 20 yards in the Cardinals' 31-27 loss to the Colts on Sunday.
Knight went into the game set for lead-back duties, but he outpaced backfield mate Michael Carter by only two carries when all was said and done. Knight did record a one-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter and had a nice gain on his one reception, but it's likely the two backs continue in a close timeshare during a Week 7 home matchup against a talented Packers defense.

Cardinals' Bam Knight: In line for bigger role
Knight is expected to take on a bigger workload out of the Cardinals backfield Sunday at Indianapolis, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
In the absences of James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson (knee) last Sunday against the Titans, Knight was third in the RB rotation behind Michael Carter and Emari Demercado, but Schefter specifically noted that Knight is in line to work in front of Carter in Week 6. Carter recorded 23 touches on a 73 percent snap share Week 5, while Demercado (three touches, 28 percent) and Knight (five touches, 16 percent) were well behind him. If Knight supplants Carter at the top of the depth chart, the former would be slated for significant increases in both touches and snaps.

Cardinals' Bam Knight: Garners five touches in Week 5
Knight recorded four carries for 11 yards and one touchdown, hauled in his only target for 13 yards and racked up 90 yards on four kick returns during Sunday's 22-21 loss to the Titans.
With James Conner (foot) out for the season and Trey Benson (knee) on injured reserve, the Cardinals have had to completely reset their backfield. Michael Carter paced the group Sunday with 23 touches for 73 yards from scrimmage and one rushing touchdown on a 57 percent snap share, while Emari Demercado (three carries for 81 yards, 28 percent) and Knight (five touches,16 percent) mixed in behind him. Knight actually earned a touch before Demercado in Week 5, and the latter's fumble through the end zone on a would-be 72-yard TD run in a disastrous fourth quarter for Arizona could result in a demotion. If that comes to pass, Knight is positioned to bump up to No. 2 on the RB depth chart behind Carter this coming Sunday at Indianapolis.

Cardinals' Bam Knight: Won't play Week 1
Knight (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Knight will not suit up Week 1, as the Cardinals will roll with a three-man backfield of James Conner, Trey Benson and Emari Demercado. Knight has not played in a regular-season game since 2023 with the Lions, and his next opportunity to see the field is Week 2 against the Panthers on Sunday, Sept. 14.

Cardinals' Zonovan Knight: Logs long TD run
Knight racked up 83 yards and a touchdown on five carries and had one kick return for 27 yards during Saturday's 20-10 preseason win against the Raiders.
In a game in which the Cardinals' top two running backs James Conner and Trey Benson didn't suit up, Knight was the second RB with a touch behind Michael Carter and logged rushes in each of the first three quarters, culminating in a 67-yard TD in which he outran the Raiders defense near the end of the third quarter. It'll be Knight's final impression ahead of roster cuts Tuesday, but considering DeeJay Dallas is all but locked in as a return specialist, Knight may lose out in the numbers game due to Carter's and Emari Demercado's experience with Arizona's system.

Cardinals' Zonovan Knight: Signs reserve/future contract
Knight signed a reserve/future contract with the Cardinals on Tuesday.
The running back also spent time with the Jets' practice squad in 2024 before joining the Cardinals, though he did not appear in any regular-season games. Knight played on eight offensive snaps for the Lions in 2023 and carried the ball three times for 13 yards. Now, he'll get a chance to compete for a role with Arizona during the team's offseason program.

Zonovan Knight: Back with Jets
The Jets signed Knight to their practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Knight spent 2023 and the 2024 offseason with the Lions, but he was cut by Detroit back in August. Prior to his tenure with the Lions, Knight played in seven games, making four starts, for the Jets in 2022, rushing 85 times for 300 yards and one touchdown, adding 13-100-0 as a receiver. He'll serve as organizational depth for New York.

Zonovan Knight: Dropped by Detroit
Knight was waived by the Lions on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Knight is headed to waivers after rushing the ball three times for 13 yards in two games for Detroit last season. With Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) and Craig Reynolds (leg) both dealing with injuries, Knight could land on the practice squad if he clears waivers.

Lions' Zonovan Knight: Healthy to start camp
Knight (shoulder) has been cleared to practice at the start of training camp, Nolan Bianchi of the Detroit News reports.
Knight suffered a torn labrum last season and spent the final three months on injured reserve. He's competing for a roster spot behind David Montgomery, Jahmyr Gibbs and Craig Reynolds this summer.

Lions' Zonovan Knight: Recovery going well
Knight (shoulder) has been a limited participant in Lions' OTAs, Dave Birkett of The Detroit Free Press reports.
Knight sustained a torn labrum and missed the Lions' final 12 games in 2023, but he's been cleared for seven-on-seven and light team work as of last week. The 23-year-old running back has also been ramping up his workload in hopes of returning for Detroit's mandatory minicamp. Once Knight is back at full health, he's expected to compete for a depth spot in the Lions' backfield ahead of the 2024 season.
