The Arizona Cardinals have waived former Florida State running back Trey Benson as of August 24, 2026. Benson's tenure with the team saw limited success, as he struggled with injuries throughout his two seasons. He was a third-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and played a total of 17 games, rushing for 451 yards and one touchdown. Following the 2025 season, where he became the team's starting running back before sustaining a season-ending injury, Benson entered training camp facing stiff competition and missed significant time due to recovery issues. His release marks a notable decision as the Cardinals adjust their roster, having previously signed Tyler Allgeier and drafted Jeremiyah Love in the 2026 NFL Draft.
