The Arizona Cardinals, currently holding a 4-7 record, will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this Sunday. The Buccaneers sit at 6-5 and are favored by 2.5 points in the upcoming matchup. Notably, the Cardinals have two key offensive players listed as questionable: running back Bam Knight and wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.
Bam Knight Injury Updates
As game day approaches, the latest reports suggest that Bam Knight is likely to play despite being listed as questionable. Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter have indicated that Knight is expected to take the field on Sunday. However, his situation has garnered attention due to recent injuries.
Details of Knight’s Condition
Bam Knight sustained a knee injury during last week’s game, which has raised concerns. He participated in limited practices for three consecutive days this week, further complicating his status. In addition to the knee issue, Knight has also dealt with an ankle injury recently.
Though he did not complete a full practice on Friday, which raises some doubts about his participation, further updates will be available on Sunday morning. Knight’s injury status remains dynamic as kickoff approaches.
Impact on Cardinals’ Game Strategy
If Knight plays, he is expected to be the starting running back. In the absence of Emari Demarcado, who is out due to injury, and with Trey Benson still on injured reserve, Knight and Michael Carter are positioned for significant playing time. Currently, Knight is seen as the preferred option over Carter.
- If Knight is active:
- Presumed starter.
- Considered a viable flex play for fantasy football.
- If Knight cannot play:
- Carter would take on the starting role.
- Carter would also become a fantasy flex play option.
With this key injury update, fantasy football managers and Cardinals fans will monitor Knight’s status closely leading into the game against the Buccaneers.
