The Arizona Cardinals entered 2026 with a deep running back corps, but injuries have exposed a glaring weakness. In a 33-30 win over Dallas, veteran Tyler Allgeier shouldered the load, rushing for 147 yards and two long touchdowns after rookie Jeremiyah Love re‑injured his ankle and RB3 Bam Morris left with a concussion and a fumble.

Downs, the 11th‑overall pick who has started every game and logged 52 tackles, a sack, two forced fumbles and a pass deflection, may miss the Week 9 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts. With a median nine‑day recovery, the Cowboys could be without him, prompting increased snaps for Cobie Durant and Markquese Bell. The defense, which has allowed 15 TDs to just three interceptions, must step up as the team looks to rebound.
