Bam Knight injury: What status means for Week 13 vs. Buccaneers

The 4-7 Arizona Cardinals head to Florida to take on the 6-5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers as 2.5-point underdogs this Sunday. The Cardinals have two questionable offensive players in RB Bam Knight and WR Marvin Harrison Jr. Reports are leaning toward Harrison Jr. being active for this matchup, while it looks like Knight is truly questionable this week.

Bam Knight injury updates

Game day morning update: Bam Knight is expected to play on Sunday in spite of his questionable tag, per Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter.

Knight injured his knee in last week’s game, but was able to get in limited practices all three days this week before getting the questionable tag. Knight had an ankle injury last week as well, so it’s most likely not just the knee at this point in the season. Since he didn’t get a full practice on Friday, there is some concern he sits, but we should learn more by Sunday morning.

Fantasy football analysis

There was some hope that running back Trey Benson would return from I.R. this week, but that has been put on hold at least another week. Running back Emari Demarcado is out as well, so that leaves us with Knight and Michael Carter as the backs with the most playing time this season. Knight is ahead of Carter at the moment and if he is active, remains the presumed starter and worth a flex play. If he can’t go, Carter gets that status this week and would be worth a flex play.
