James Conner injury update: Latest news on Cardinals RB's status in Week 3 game image

The Arizona Cardinals have an injury concern with running back James Conner in the second half of the Week 3 game against the San Francisco 49ers.

Conner got injured in the third quarter of the contest and was later carted off the field. It appears he's dealing with an ankle injury and it might be serious.

Conner was surrounded by teammates after he went down and there was clear concern for him.

Prior to his exit, Conner had nine carries for 22 yards and three catches for 15 yards. He'll be replaced by Trey Benson as long as he's out.

Here's the latest updates on Conner's status for the rest of the game.
