Cardinals waive Trey Benson (knee)

Key Points:

• Trey Benson, a 24-year-old former third-round pick for the Arizona Cardinals, is at risk of losing his roster spot following the additions of Jeremiyah Love and Tyler Allgeier, compounded by his ongoing injury struggles.
• Benson underwent meniscus surgery last season and has faced setbacks during his recovery, limiting his ability to compete for playing time against James Conner, Tyler Allgeier, and Jeremiyah Love.
• The Cardinals are expected to keep four running backs on the roster, with Love and Allgeier considered locks due to recent investments, while Conner and Benson are potential trade candidates given their injury histories and contract situations.
• Benson's latest injury setback during practice has likely ended his season, with Bam Knight stepping up as the Cardinals' lead running back as Benson nears the end of his 21-day practice window without activation.
• Despite the challenges, Benson remains under contract through 2027, but his future with the Cardinals is uncertain amid the team's depth at running back and possible trade interest from other NFL teams.
