A toe injury has sidelined Demercado for the last three games, but after being listed as limited on five consecutive practice reports dating back to Week 11 prep, he's been deemed healthy enough to suit up for the first time since Week 8. This time around, he'll be playing behind workhorse James Conner, but Demercado showed enough before getting hurt to mix into the Cardinals backfield in some capacity. Overall, the undrafted rookie has averaged just under 4.0 yards on his 49 carries, gathered in 12 of 16 targets for 64 yards and scored one rushing touchdown in eight appearances.

Emari Demercado Latest News
Returning to action Sunday
A toe injury has sidelined Demercado for the last three games, but after being listed as limited on five consecutive practice reports dating back to Week 11 prep, he's been deemed healthy enough to suit up for the first time since Week 8. This time around, he'll be playing behind workhorse James Conner, but Demercado showed enough before getting hurt to mix into the Cardinals backfield in some capacity. Overall, the undrafted rookie has averaged just under 4.0 yards on his 49 carries, gathered in 12 of 16 targets for 64 yards and scored one rushing touchdown in eight appearances.
Back at practice Wednesday
Demercado hasn't practiced since Week 8 prep, missing the last two games due to a toe injury. Prior to the absence, he was the main beneficiary of James Conner's (knee) IR stint, racking up 41 touches for 171 yards from scrimmage and no TDs from Weeks 6 through 8. With Conner back in the fold as of this past Sunday against the Falcons, Demercado likely won't be much more than a change-of-pace option, once he proves his health. Wednesday's practice report ultimately will reveal how much work Demercado was able to handle.
Sitting out again Friday
If Demercado goes down as a non-participant for a third consecutive session due to his current toe injury, there's a chance the Cardinals outright rule him out ahead of Sunday's game at Cleveland. If that comes to pass, Arizona's backfield will be populated by Keaontay Ingram and Tony Jones, with the potential for Corey Clement and Hassan Hall to be elevated from the practice squad for Week 9 action.
