Arizona Cardinals<\/a> running back Emari Demercado<\/a> suffered a high ankle sprain and is unlikely to play Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a>, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Tuesday.<\/p>\n Demercado left in the second quarter of Arizona’s 41-22 loss to the San Francisco 49ers<\/a> on Sunday after rushing for 8 yards on five attempts and catching two passes for 12 yards. Bam Knight<\/a> also had five carries for the Cardinals, rushing for 24 yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n The Cardinals, who were called for a franchise-record 17 penalties, lost for the sixth time in seven games.<\/p>\n If Trey Benson<\/a> (knee) isn’t activated from injured reserve this week, Knight and Michael Carter<\/a> would be in line to share backfield duties against the Jaguars.<\/p>\n For the season, Demercado has 241 rushing yards on 31 attempts. His lone touchdown this season came on a reception.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nov 18, 2025, 08:18 AM ET Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado suffered a high ankle sprain and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":299248,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-299247","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-nfl","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/299247","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=299247"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/299247\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/299248"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=299247"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=299247"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=299247"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
