Arizona Cardinals star running back James Conner was carted off in Sunday’s road game against the San Francisco 49ers with a gruesome-looking ankle injury.

James Conner suffered the injury on a 2nd-and-1 rushing play early in the third quarter and was taken off the field. Before leaving the game, Conner had 22 rushing yards and three receptions for 15 yards.

Players on both teams came together to pray for Conner as he was carted away:


Unfortunately, James Conner was just one of three notable star players to suffer an injury during the late afternoon games on Sunday. Dallas Cowboys All-Pro wideout CeeDee Lamb suffered an ankle injury against the Chicago Bears and was ruled out for the game soon after.

During the second quarter against the Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Chargers running back Najee Harris was carted off with a serious-looking ankle injury.

Conner, a two-time Pro Bowler, is in his fifth season with the Cardinals. The former Pittsburgh Steelers star has recorded back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons with the Redbirds, helping them to a rare postseason appearance in the 2021 season.

NBC dropped a huge announcement when they roped in the services of Michael Jordan. With the league returning to the network next season, NBC is said to have some big plans with the Chicago Bulls legend.

Speaking on the topic, Alex Sherman of ‘CNBC’ provided some insight into the matter. He pointed out that the preliminary plans for Jordan are to appear in taped segments. This way, Jordan will be providing analysis on the games. These tapes are expected to be aired either at halftime or at the end of each game.

Sherman also pointed out that NBC will also keep the opportunity for Jordan’s role to evolve in the future. Extending the topic further, ‘CNBC’ also reported that the deal with Jordan was orchestrated by none other than his longtime friend, Jon Miller. Meanwhile, after landing such a huge deal, it is quite expected that Michael Jordan will be elated.
