RB Kenyan Drake and CB Dre Kirkpatrick still day-to-day after missing the Dolphins game.

Edmonds was held in check in Week 9 taking over the as the lead back with Drake out, but the good news was he handled a majority of the workload in the loss to Miami. If Drake is out, Edmonds should again see the workload in a matchup against Buffalo.

Cardinals RB Kenyan Drake is officially out for Week 9 against the Miami Dolphins, according to Kyle Odegard of the Arizona Cardinals.

This was expected, so nothing to be surprised about. Edmonds will start and coach Kliff Kingsbury hints at D.J. Foster being the backup this week.

Kingsbury said the injury to RB Kenyan Drake wasn't as bad as first feared.

He called Drake "day to day" although he wasn't sure that meant playing this week, according to the Tweet. Kingsbury added the team and Drake were "very fortunate" from what it first looked like. The Cards have three games in 11 days: Week 9 vs. Miami, Week 10 vs. Buffalo and then a Thursday night game in Week 11 against Seattle. Looks like Edmonds should be the guy this week but it seems possible Drake returns after that, which would be two games in five days. Even if Drake returns sooner than later, with that many games in a short time Edmonds could still have fantasy value.

Without Kenyan Drake, the Cardinals will rely on Chase Edmonds to be their primary ball carrier. He had 58 yards on five carries and 87 yards on seven catches in Sunday night's 37-34 overtime victory over the Seattle Seahawks.

It's not breaking news but it's good to be reassure if you're an Edmonds owner. We've had reports over the past few weeks from those who follow the team saying Edmonds deserved to get more work because he was more effective than Drake, although with lesser touches, most of this season. Edmonds is going to get his chance. Look for Benjamin to get a bump as well. Edmonds could very well be on your wire, he needs to be picked up.

Cardinals’ RB Kenyan Drake is expected to miss “a few weeks” with a slight tear of a ligament in his ankle, per source.

The Cardinals are treating it like a high ankle sprain, Schefter went on to say. Enter Edmonds. Many who follow the team were pushing for Edmonds to get more work over Drake, but Drake was OK against the Jets and good against the Cowboys last week. That resulted in Edmonds to get dropped to the waiver wire in some leagues. If he's out there, he's worth a pickup this week. He'll take over as the team's RB1. Eno Benjamin and Jonathan Ward are up next on the depth chart.

X-rays on Cardinals’ RB Kenyan Drake’s ankle at the stadium last night were negative, per source.

Schefter went on to say Drake will have an MRI Monday to determine extent of injury and how much time he could miss. The Cards have a bye in Week 8 and then come back to play the Dolphins in Week 9. Edmonds again filled in nicely with Drake out of the picture. If Edmonds was recently dropped to your wire, you should make a play for him this week.

ESPN writer Bill Barnwell believes Drake is in the “very hot seat,” calling the running back “ordinary.”

Drake’s longest run this season has been 16 yards, a far cry from the 80-yard TD last season, and is averaging 3.7 yards per carry — which is what he averaged in Miami in 2019 before being traded to Arizona. He’s also been lacking in the passing game, the story said. Meanwhile, Edmonds has been making the most of his limited work and there are those who follow the team calling for him to get more work. Drake was just OK in a good matchup against the Jets and has another good one Monday night against Dallas. Hopefully for owners he starts to take advantage.

Chase Edmonds’ impact on the game justified his post-game interview status.

He touched the ball just eight times on offense, but accounted for 92 total yards, including a 29-yard touchdown run in the first quarter.

“No question,” coach Kliff Kingsbury said after the Cardinals 30-10 victory. “He’s got real juice and we need to find ways to continue to get him the ball.”

The writer said Kingsbury should take some carries away from Drake and give them to Edmonds. He went on to say through five games, Drake hasn’t looked like the dynamic player who gained 643 yards and rushed for eight touchdowns over the last eight games. He's averaging 3.7 yards a carry, about a yard less than last year. The author added other than loyalty, there's no good reason why Drake touched the ball 19 times (18 on runs) Sunday while Edmonds only eight. Despite the difference in workload, Edmonds accounted for 30 more yards. Drake owners have been flooding our Discuss You Team forum asking about what to do with Drake, and after only an OK performance against the Jets, the best advice may be to pick up Edmonds.

Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake may be out of his walking boot and back practicing, but that doesn’t mean the flood gates are fully open just yet.

Joining Arizona Sports’ Bickley & Marotta on Tuesday, Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury spoke on the running back and where the team’s at in measuring his workload in the season opener against the defensing NFC Champion San Francisco 49ers.

Eyes have been on Drake’s status since the RB was seen in a walking boot on Aug. 24, the story said. Despite the appearance, Kingsbury called the boot precautionary, while Drake added he was good to go and there’s “no worries.” Kingsbury said the team has confidence Edmonds if needed, and it's possible Edmonds gets a little more work in Week 1.
