Injured hamstring in Week 8
Cardinals RB Chase Edmonds likely will miss a few weeks with a hamstring strain, source said. With David Johnson also banged up, that explains today’s trade for Kenyan Drake, who’s in line for a big role Thursday night against the 49ers. (NFL Network – Tom Pelissero)
Nerdy Football Analysis: It’s the most reasonable explanation as to why Arizona traded for Kenyan Drake. Edmonds flashed the ability to be a feature back at some point in the near future in Week 7, but he’ll likely go back to handcuff status behind David Johnson whenever he is able to return.
