Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur said James Conner (ankle) will not return from injured reserve this week. 2026-11-04 17:00:02 LaFleur could only say the team was taking things “week to week” when asked if Conner will play this year. It sounds like the veteran running back may ultimately miss the entire season. With Jeremiyah Love on IR, Tyler Allgeier will handle the bulk of the backfield touches versus Seattle. |

Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur said James Conner could “potentially” return this season. 2026-10-26 19:00:02 Conner has been on injured reserve all season while continuing to work his way back from the brutal foot/ankle injury he suffered last season. If he does return, Conner will join a fairly crowded backfield and would be nearly impossible to trust in fantasy as long as Jeremiyah Love and Tyler Allgeier are both healthy. |

Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur said it’s still not “the right time” for James Conner (ankle) to return. 2026-10-02 15:00:02 Same goes for TE Tip Reiman (ankle). LaFleur said he does not check in with the medical staff about them “on the daily,” but he “knows they’re doing well.” Neither player needs to be rostered in 12-team formats. Conner may be fantasy-relevant later in the year, but a lot would have to go wrong beforehand for that to be the case. |

Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur said it’s “too early to tell” if James Conner (ankle) will play in Week 1. 2026-08-26 17:00:03 Conner suffered a season-ending ankle injury early in the 2025 season. He avoided the PUP list to start training camp but has yet to participate in 11-on-11 drills. With the season nearly two weeks away, it certainly doesn’t look like Conner will be available for Week 1. Trey Benson is on injured reserve and Jeremiyah Love is on the mend with an ankle issue of his own. It’s possible Tyler Allgeier earns a three-down role to open the season, making him a priority target for ZeroRB drafters. |

Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur said there’s no timeline for James Conner (ankle) to return to 11-on-11 work. 2026-08-16 10:00:02 It doesn’t sound like Conner has a great chance of being available for Week 1, and if he’s not yet able to fully practice it’s certainly on the table for Conner to start the year on injured reserve or the reserve/PUP list. Conner took a paycut this offseason and is due $2.35 million guaranteed in 2026 after suffering a season-ending injury in Week 3 last year. |
