James Conner Leaves Game After Rib Injury In 4th Quarter

Cardinals running back James Conner suffered an apparent rib injury with 12 minutes left in the 4th quarter against the Seahawks.

By video, Conner took a hit the ribs on a 19-yard rush and endured a potential cartilage injury. 

He went back into the locker room and later returned to the bench. With an NFC West division title up for grabs with a win and Rams loss, coming back into the game may be worth it for Arizona. 

Conner missed the last 2 contests with a heel injury he sustained in Week 15. The Cardinals will have a quick turnaround to a playoff game next weekend.
