No. 33 · 3rd season

Benson misses two days, Cardinals sign a running back on Monday

Two practices gone, no explanation offered. That's where things stand with Trey Benson as the Arizona Cardinals move into their second week of training camp.

Benson came to Arizona as the team's bet at running back — a player they were building around in the backfield. Missing practice during camp is always noticed, but the Cardinals' response made it louder: on Monday, they signed Evan Hull, another running back, to the roster.

Teams sign players for reasons. Doing it the same week your starter goes quiet tends to say something, even when nobody says anything out loud.

What's behind the absence isn't known yet. But the number of practices missed and the timing of that signing is the kind of thing that people notice — and that Benson will need to answer eventually, one way or another.
