Arizona Cardinals evaluate RB depth as preseason games approach

Summary

The Arizona Cardinals have a critical decision at running back as they enter the final days before roster cuts. Three players — Trey Benson, Bam Knight, and Corey Kiner — are competing for the fourth RB spot. With two preseason games remaining, Knight appears to have an edge due to his special teams capability and performance in recent games. Kiner has also shown promise, leading the team in rushing yards in a recent game against the Raiders. Benson's lack of special teams experience and a knee issue may hinder his chances. The final roster decisions will be made soon, and both Knight and Kiner will receive extended looks in the remaining preseason matchups.
