Cardinals’ Chase Edmonds appointed to return from injury reserve, can start training after 3 games absence

The The Arizona Cardinals Is there a midfielder? Kyler Murray and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins back last week, and more reinforcements are on their way. On Thursday, The Cardinals announced which they had specified to run again Chase Edmonds to return from the injured reserve list. He can start training now and can be put on the active list anytime within the next 21 days.

Edmonds is was assigned to the wounded reserve last month after spraining high ankle in Week 9 against San Francisco 49ers. The former Fordham fourth-round player had one of his best seasons before suffering an ankle injury, as he dashed 430 meters and caught 30 passes, 211 metres, along with one touchdown in the nine games played.

Edmonds was the “starter” of Kliff Kingsbury’s offense, but James Conner plays a big part too – and he has thrived in the past four games. Since Edmonds was injured, Conner has dashed 72 times over 272 yards and 4 touchdowns while catching 15 passes 175 yards and 2 points. It remains to be seen how close Edmonds is back to the squad and how his role might change with Conner’s recent success.

The Cardinals have the 10th most fouls in the league, as they average 368.8 yards of fouls per game. With Murray, Hopkins and soon Edmonds back in the starting lineup, the NFC’s No. 1 seed is expected to end the regular season on a strong note.
