TEMPE — The Arizona Cardinals designated running back Trey Benson to return from injured reserve this week, but he was ruled out for the game Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Benson (knee) was limited during the first three days of practice after his 21-day window opened up.
Cardinals receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. will miss a second game as he recovers from appendicitis, head coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday. Running back Emari Demercado will also not play this week due to an ankle injury suffered in Sunday’s loss to San Francisco, Gannon said.
Pass rusher Baron Browning (concussion) and safety Dadrion Taylor-Demerson (ankle) account for the other players ruled out.
Kelvin Beachum, who will start at right tackle with Jonah Williams headed to injured reserve, is questionable after being upgraded to a limited participant in Friday’s practice with a groin issue.
Also questionable are starting cornerbacks Will Johnson (back/hip) and Garrett Williams, right guard Will Hernandez (knee), defensive lineman Darius Robinson (groin) and backup offensive lineman Hayden Conner (knee).
Notably on the Jaguars’ side, defensive end Travon Walker (knee) and receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) are out.
