Not ready for game action
Conner (knee) is inactive for Sunday's Week 13 battle against the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Conner was activated off injured reserve Saturday, but he isn't yet ready to suit up in a game. He'll thus have to wait at least another week to make his NFL debut after being selected by Arizona in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Back from IR
Conner (knee) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Conner has been on injured reserve since late August after suffering a knee injury during the preseason. He remains questionable, but he could be in line for his NFL debut while serving in a reserve role.

Won't be activated off IR
Conner (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie sixth-rounder will remain on injured reserve as he continues to recover from a knee that he sustained during the preseason in mid-August. He was limited in practice all week, so he'll likely remain on IR until he can log full practices.

Practice window opens
The Cardinals announced Thursday that Conner (knee) has been designated for return from IR.
ANALYSIS
The rookie sixth-round pick has spent the entire regular season to date on IR due to a knee injury suffered during the preseason, but he appears to be nearing a return to action. Conner will now have a 21-day window to practice without counting against the 53-man roster. He can be activated at any time within that span, meaning he could suit up as early as Sunday's game against the 49ers, if healthy.

Lands on IR
Conner (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
The rookie sixth-round pick made the 53-man roster but will miss at least four games due to his placement on injured reserve. Conner will likely serve in a reserve role upon return.

Status for Week 1 in question
Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said Monday that Conner (knee) will "miss some time," Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Conner had to leave Saturday's preseason contest against Denver after hurting his left knee. Gannon's comments Monday leave open the possibility that Conner may not be ready by Week 1 of the regular season, though that's not a certainty at this point. Regardless, it sounds like Conner will probably need to sit out Arizona's final preseason game Saturday versus the Raiders.

Exits with knee injury
Conner exited Saturday's preseason game against the Broncos with a knee injury and will not return, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Conner went down and immediately started pointing to his inner leg, suggesting it could be a potentially significant injury. He was sixth-round pick out of Texas back in April.

Grabbed by Cards in Round 6
The Cardinals selected Conner in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 211th overall.
ANALYSIS
Conner spent his entire four-year career with Texas, and he started in 43 straight games at left guard over his last three years with the Longhorns. He didn't allow a single sack in 2024 and demonstrated enough durability, strength and technical prowess to translate to the next level against NFL defenses.
