TreVeyon Henderson's practice status update
The Patriots traded for running back Corey Kiner on Saturday and they made space for him by parting ways with another back. They announced that they have released Hassan Haskins when they confirmed their trade with Arizona for Kiner. Haskins signed with the Patriots earlier this month and saw action in all three of the team’s preseason games. Haskins spent the last two seasons with the Chargers and entered the league as a Titans fourth-round pick in 2022. Kiner joins a running back room that also has TreVeyon Henderson, Rhamondre Stevenson, Lan Larison, JaMycal Hasty, and seventh-round pick Jam Miller in it at the moment

Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur said on Thursday night that rookie running back Jeremiyah Love could have returned to the team’s preseason game against the Raiders after injuring his ankle, but the injury has turned out to be a bit more serious. LaFleur told reporters on Saturday morning that Love’s ankle is a “little more sore” and that he will miss at least the next week of work as a result. That will keep Love out for next Saturday’s preseason game against the Cowboys. LaFleur would not commit to Love’s return ahead of the team’s third preseason game and said that they will re-evaluate the third overall pick’s status down the line. Tyler Allgeier, James Connor, Trey Benson, Bam Knight, Evan Hull, and Corey Kiner are the other backs in Arizona
Carson Beck, the Cardinals' third-round pick, impressed in the Hall of Fame Game, leading three scoring drives and throwing for 188 yards. Head coach Mike LaFleur noted that Beck's performance is consistent with what he's seen in practice, highlighting his ability to stay composed. While Jacoby Brissett remains the starter, Beck's strong preseason showing bolsters his potential as the team's future quarterback
The Cardinals didn’t draft running back Jeremiyah Love with the third overall pick so he could sit on the bench, but they’re not going to declare him the starter just yet. Currently, the Cardinals’ depth chart lists Tyler Allgeier as the first-string running back. Love is second string. Realistically, there’s almost no chance that Love, barring injury, isn’t the Cardinals’ top running back for the regular season. But NFL teams often wait until a rookie has earned a starting job before listing him as the starter on the team’s published depth chart. No. 3 on the running back depth chart in Arizona is James Conner, followed by Trey Benson, Bam Knight and Corey Kiner
We’ll have to wait a little longer for our first chance to see Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love in action. Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur said at a Wednesday press conference that Love will not be playing against the Panthers in the Hall of Fame Game on Thursday night. The Cardinals will have three other preseason games to get Love some action ahead of their Week 1 game against the Chargers. Love was the third overall pick in April and is expected to be the lead back in Arizona during his rookie season. Tyler Allgeier, James Conner, Trey Benson, Bam Knight, Evan Hill, and Corey Kiner are the other backs on the Cardinals roster
Kiner logged four regular-season appearances as a rookie with Arizona in 2025 after having gone undrafted out of Cincinnati. He totaled 12 carries for 58 yards and two catches for 15 yards, which was sparse considering that the Cardinals backfield lost its two top playmakers in James Conner and Trey Benson for the campaign at various points. Now, not only are Conner and Benson still around in 2026, both are now competing for reserve work after Arizona drafted Jeremiyah Love third overall and inked Tyler Allgeier in free agency. Kiner's best-case scenario is likely a practice-squad spot
When the Arizona Cardinals hired Mike LaFleur as their next head coach, they brought in a guy with proven offensive success, having run the same offense at several programs. While the OC of the Los Angeles Rams last year, their offense was ranked #1. That doesn’t happen by chance. It was LaFleur’s job to take the players supplied and meld a good offensive scheme and place players in position to become successful. LaFleur didn’t call plays, but did all of the other offensive coordinator jobs. RELATED: CARDINALS DRAFT JEREMIYAH LOVE IN ROUND ONE The running back room is busting at the seams with players – and talent. Most NFL clubs keep three running backs on their final roster. At times, a fourth athlete will be retained if they have become the club’s kickoff or punt return specialist, or have other special teams value, such as a designated gunner. Currently, the Cardinals’ running back room is as follows: James Conner (age 31), Tyler Allgeier (26), Bam Knight (25), Corey Kiner (24), Trey Benson (23), and Jeremiyah Love (21). Let’s face it: Kiner and Knight better find a usefulness on special teams. That leaves four players. Love will most likely become the new starting running back, and Allgeier is a talented runner who was once the Atlanta Falcons’ starter until they drafted Bijon Robinson in the first round. Allgeier was considered one of GM Monti Ossenfort’s big “splashes” in free agency this past March. Benson is still young, but unproven despite being a third-round draft pick in 2024. He had his opportunity to prove what he can do at the NFL level after Conner went down to injury in Week 3. But Benson only lasted a week until he suffered a meniscus injury in the Week 4 loss to the Seattle Seahawks that required surgery. That leaves Conner. Obviously, his age is the first notation. Not that he can’t contribute and produce into his 30s – he can. But he is also coming off a foot injury that eliminated his 2025 season. Don’t get this wrong: most foot injuries heal, and that’s about it. This type of injury isn’t lingering, such as a knee issue or Achilles tear. The point is coming. One of these will have to leave the desert. And since this is quite evident, the Cardinals should look into getting something in return. The first question is: Which player? One aspect of LaFleur’s offense will be the ability to run the ball. He requires it. He loves a running quarterback, needs a competent offensive line, good receiving help from several tight ends, and has to have exceptional running backs. Under former head coach Jonathan Gannon, the quarterback situation never became solved. The offensive play-calling was predictable and not consistent. After three years under Gannon and OC Drew Petzing’s tutelage, the offense was ranked at the bottom or middle of the pack in most categories this past season. Remember, Gannon was a defensive coach, so his focus seemed to be elsewhere, and the offensive production was a roller coaster as the team collected 14 losses in his final season. In the three years of Gannon and Petzing’s reign, the running game went from powerhouse to doghouse, while the passing attack improved each season. 2025: Total offense: #19 Passing offense: #7 Running offense: #31 2024: Total offense: #11 Passing offense: #18 Running offense: #7 2023: Total offense: #19 Passing offense: #26 Running offense: #4 LaFleur is a teacher. He wants his players to succeed on the gridiron, but mostly in life. His approach to the game, as well as his ability to teach concepts, invariably gets the best out of his players. His scheme is tried and true. It is based upon a heavy pre-snap motion with a wide-zone blocking rushing attack. Jet sweeps, bootlegs, play-action, short passes, simplicity for the quarterback, lack of penalties, several tight end sets, and getting holes for the running back to scoot through. He requires good pass-catching tight ends. He has to have accurate passers. He needs a solid offensive li [... truncated ...]
