Around the NFL: Cards Lose Trey Benson, Sirianni on AJ Brown, Shedeur Sanders Speechless, More ...Middle East

Sport by : (Bleacher Nation) -

The hits just keep coming for the Arizona Cardinals, who will be without running back Trey Benson for at least the next month.

Cardinals Place RB Trey Benson on IR

The Cardinals’ backfield took another major hit this week. Head coach Jonathan Gannon confirmed Wednesday that running back Trey Benson has been placed on injured reserve with a knee injury, just days after James Conner was lost for the season with ankle surgery.

Benson, a second-year back who had already produced runs of 52 and 29 yards this season, will miss at least four weeks but is expected to return. “We obviously know we gotta pick up that role,” Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said. “But (I) feel good about Bam (Knight) and Emari (Demercado) and Mike Carter. I’m sure all three of them will play.”

Arizona had hoped to feature a 1A/1B rushing attack with Conner and Benson, but now the workload falls to Michael Carter, Demercado, and Knight heading into Sunday’s matchup with the Titans.

The injuries extend well beyond the backfield. First-rounder Walter Nolen III (calf) has yet to play, Garrett Williams remains on IR, and rookie corner Will Johnson has missed time. Even Marvin Harrison Jr. has struggled early. Still, at 2-2, the Cardinals could move above .500 with a win over Tennessee — no small feat for a team tested early by adversity.

Nick Sirianni Has No Doubt AJ Brown Wants to Remain with the Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles enter Week 5 at 4-0, standing as the NFC’s only undefeated team. But while the wins are piling up, wide receiver AJ Brown’s production hasn’t matched the team’s success. Through four games, Brown has just 14 catches for 151 yards and one touchdown — his lowest four-game stretch since joining Philadelphia in 2022.

Brown raised eyebrows after Sunday’s 31-25 win over the Buccaneers by posting cryptic messages on X, including one that read, “I love yall with all My heart,” followed shortly after by a Bible verse about quietly moving on when not welcomed.

Asked about those posts, head coach Nick Sirianni said he’s been in “constant communication” with Brown but declined to share details. “Obviously, AJ is very important to this football team,” Sirianni said. “I know he wants to contribute and do the things that he’s capable of doing. I question nothing about his desire to play great football, his desire of being a good teammate, his desire to be here.”

Browns QB Change Leaves Shedeur Sanders Speechless

The Cleveland Browns are shaking up their quarterback room after a sluggish 1-3 start, but the headlines weren’t only about who’s under center — they were about who wasn’t talking.

Rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders declined to answer questions with his voice during Wednesday’s media availability; instead, he silently mouthed responses and smiled as cameras rolled. The unusual approach came just hours after head coach Kevin Stefanski announced third-round pick Dillon Gabriel will start Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings in London. Gabriel replaces veteran Joe Flacco, who threw three touchdowns and six interceptions across four starts. Flacco will slide into the No. 2 role, with Sanders staying at QB3.

Reporters pressed Sanders about what he needs to show to climb the depth chart and what he’s learned from Flacco in the early weeks of his rookie season. Sanders mimicked answers but never spoke, creating a bizarre scene that quickly went viral on social media.

The moment comes just a week after Sanders made waves on ESPN Cleveland, saying he was “ready to play right now” and believed he could outperform many of the quarterbacks currently starting around the league. His father, Pro Football Hall of Famer and Colorado coach Deion Sanders, has also kept his son in the spotlight. Deion recently told the “New Heights” podcast he expected Shedeur to get his chance this season, though he struck a more cautious tone on Pacman Jones’ “Politely Raw” podcast this week, saying he didn’t want his words to impact his son negatively.

Extra Points

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels has been cleared by the team’s medical staff and practiced on Wednesday after missing two games with a knee injury. Josh Blackwell was rightfully named the NFC’s Special Teams Player of the Week, but his teammate, Kevin Byard III, was robbed of the honor this week.
