Pro Football Rumors
In a close loss to the 49ers today, the Cardinals saw a core player suffer a season-ending injury. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Arizona running back James Conner will require season-ending surgery on his right ankle.
In an extremely competitive matchup with the Niners today, disaster struck when Conner got twisted up while getting tackled. It was immediately apparent that the ankle injury was serious in nature as players from both teams took a knee, and a cart eventually came out to remove Conner from the field of play.

Schefter’s official breaking report followed 16 minutes later.
