A knee injury ended Benson's 2026 campaign after Week 4 just as he had an opportunity to take over as lead back due to Conner's season-ending foot injury. Benson had surgery to repair the meniscus in his injured left knee that was initially expected to sideline him for 4-6 weeks. But he wasn't able to return late in the season and finished the campaign on injured reserve.

Benson waived after knee injury cut short 2026 season and Cardinals tenure.

Benson was placed on the waived/injured list by the Cardinals after two injury-riddled seasons. A knee injury ended his 2026 campaign after Week 4 when he had an opportunity to take over as lead back; he underwent meniscus surgery on his left knee that was initially expected to sideline him 4-6 weeks but he was unable to return late in the season and finished on injured reserve. His left knee had limited him throughout Cardinals training camp, and he will join another roster with lingering issues around his injured left knee.
