Demercado has been a constant name on the injury report for the past couple of weeks, missing games against the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tampa Bay Buccaneers with an ankle injury. There was hope that Demercado would get healthy and return to help a limited Cardinals backfield. Those aspirations fell short, and the 26-year-old will miss his third straight game.
Arizona used Demercado as the third-down back, as a dangerous receiving threat in the backfield. That role has now been spilt between Bam Knight and Michael Carter the last couple weeks to weak results. The absence of offensive weapons like Demercado and Harrison, will likely continue the trend of the Cardinals lackluster offensive attack.
With Kyler Murray likely exit, which Cardinals player or coach is the next out?
