Cardinals-Vikings injury report: RB James Conner ruled out

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner was listed as limited for the second consecutive day on Thursday but was ruled out for a Week 8 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, head coach Kliff Kingsbury told reporters Friday.

Kingsbury also ruled out starting center Rodney Hudson, edge rusher Dennis Gardeck and offensive guard Max Garcia.

The head coach said backup running back Darrel Williams and starting kicker Matt Prater will be gametime decisions.

Conner and Williams have not played the past two weeks, leaving running back duties to Eno Benjamin and Keaontay Ingram.

At kicker, the Cardinals inked Rodrigo Blankenship with the possibility he could handle some or all of the kicking duties depending on Prater’s status.
