Cardinals Announce Bam Knight Injury Update After Leaving Texans Game

NFLreporter Joss Weinfuss shared further details during the broadcast. He reported that Knight could not put any weight on his left ankle. He added that Knight was in significant pain before leaving the field. The injury raised immediate concern given Arizona’s thin backfield.

Before exiting, Knight recorded one carry for minus two yards. His absence forced the Cardinals to adjust quickly. Michael Carter and Emari Demercado became the primary running backs. Rookie Corey Kiner was also available but has yet to log a touch this season.

The injury added to a rough start for Arizona. The Cardinals fell behind 17-0 after the first quarter. Houston continued to control the game, pushing the lead to 23-7 by halftime. Arizona struggled to sustain drives while the defense stayed on the field.

Knight has been a key piece despite a difficult season. He leads the team with 271 rushing yards and four touchdowns. He has also contributed as a receiver out of the backfield. Injuries, however, have slowed his momentum.

Arizona sits at 3-10 and last in the NFC West. Injuries have piled up across the roster. With the playoffs out of reach, the focus has shifted toward evaluation. Knight’s status moving forward will be closely watched as the season winds down.
