Arizona RB Marlon Mack will miss season after Achilles tendon injury

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 05:56:34 GMT

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Arizona Cardinals running back Marlon Mack is out for the season after suffering a left Achilles tendon injury during Tuesday’s practice.Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon confirmed the extent of the injury on Wednesday.The 27-year-old Mack was signed earlier this week in the hopes the veteran could add some depth in the backfield behind starter James Conner. Mack ran for a career-high 1,091 yards and eight touchdowns with the Indianapolis Colts in 2019, but his career has been derailed since that point because of injuries.Mack tore his right Achilles in Week 1 of the 2020 season, causing him to miss the rest of the season. He played in eight games last season, splitting time with the Broncos and 49ers.___AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nflSource
