Arizona Cardinals running back Corey Clement has been elevated to the active roster ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. The Cardinals have decided to bring up the veteran back as a reinforcement with Emari Demercado (toe) ruled out for this game. The expectation is that Keaontay Ingram will get a majority of the snaps in the backfield. Possibly, Clement gets mixed in a little, but it shouldn't be enough to warrant streaming in any fantasy formats.
The Arizona Cardinals have signed running back Corey Clement to their practice squad. The 28-year-old was cut by the team on Tuesday after failing to make the 53-man roster. Despite that, Clement will be back with the team, but won't have a role right away. The Cardinals will stash him on the practice squad as a possible depth option. Clement posted a strong preseason with 84 yards on 16 touches. He appeared in nine games with the Cardinals last season, but didn't make much of an impact. He can be ignored in fantasy formats for the moment.
Arizona Cardinals running back Corey Clement made a case to be on the team's final 53-man roster for the start of the season. In the team's 18-17 preseason win over the Minnesota Vikings, Clement rushed 14 times for 79 yards, averaging 5.6 YPC. His tough running helped secure the Cardinal's come-from-behind win. Currently fourth on the team's running back depth chart, Clement was by far the most efficient runner in this game. Due to James Conner's injury history, if he can make the team, Clement could find himself in a more stable role as the season progresses.
Corey Clement Gets Preseason Start, Tallies Nine Touches
Arizona Cardinals running back Corey Clement received the first carry in the team's preseason opener against Denver on Friday night. The team gave starter James Conner the night off and presumptive backup Keaontay Ingram (abdomen) did not suit up. That left Clement and Ty'Son Williams the opportunity to play in the opening series. The ex-Eagle finished the contest with six carries for 15 yards and three catches for 13 yards. Unless both Ingram and Conner are dealing with injuries, Clement is not worth drafting in standard-sized leagues.
Cardinals Bring Corey Clement Back On One-Year Deal
The Arizona Cardinals re-signed running back Corey Clement to an undisclosed one-year deal on Tuesday. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Clement will return to provide running back depth yet again in Arizona behind James Conner. Darrel Williams is a free agent this offseason. The 28-year-old appeared in only nine games in the desert in his first year with the team in Arizona and carried the ball just 15 times for 55 yards and one touchdown, adding five receptions for 54 yards on seven targets. Clement won't be on the fantasy radar in 2023 unless the Cardinals RB position is decimated by injuries.
Arizona Cardinals running back Corey Clement rushed eight times for 23 yards and a touchdown and caught three of his four targets for 25 yards in the loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 18. Clement scored his first rushing touchdown since the 2020 season when he was a Philadelphia Eagle. Clement was surprisingly the leading rusher for Arizona, while most thought it would be rookie running back Keaontay Ingram in the absence of James Conner (knee/shin). It would be surprising if the 28-year-old Clement has any fantasy relevance next season.
Arizona Cardinals running back Corey Clement filled in for an injured James Conner (shin, knee) during the fourth quarter of last week's contest and should be in line to handle an increased workload against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 18. Conner has already been ruled out for Sunday's matchup and head coach Kliff Kingsbury stated that both Clement and Keaontay Ingram will be involved in his absence. Clement ran ahead of the rookie in Week 17, but it's possible that the Cardinals give Ingram more touches this week to see what they have in their younger asset. Regardless, the 49ers have been stout against running backs all season, so Arizona's backfield should likely be avoided for fantasy purposes.
Arizona Cardinals running back Corey Clement has been elevated to the 53-man roster in advance of Monday's clash with the 49ers. The 28-year-old has appeared in two games for Arizona this season. However, he spent nearly all of that time on special teams. The Cards recently parted ways with Eno Benjamin, who had served as the team's starter while James Conner was out with an injury. Yet, with Conner healthy and rookie Keaontay Ingram listed as the No. 2 option on the depth chart, Clement has little room to get involved, giving him no value on the fantasy end.
Cardinals Sign Corey Clement To Their Practice Squad
The Arizona Cardinals have signed free-agent running back Corey Clement to their practice squad. The team brought the former Eagle in for a workout and must have liked what they saw. After losing lead back James Conner and backup Darrel Williams on Sunday against the Eagles due to injuries, the team appears to be loading up on depth in case one or both players cannot suit up this week. The 27-year-old will join recently signed Ty'Son Williams as another option should they need to elevate someone for their Week 6 matchup with the Rams. It's unclear which of these two would be the primary backup behind Eno Benjamin, so both remain players to monitor until we know more about the health and pecking order in this backfield.
The Arizona Cardinals worked out running back Corey Clement on Tuesday. The 27-year-old was reportedly part of a group of backs that worked out in Arizona. That isn't a good sign for the health of James Conner and Darrell Williams. Clearly, the Cardinals are looking to add depth due to multiple injuries in their backfield. Clement has 795 career rushing yards with seven touchdowns through five seasons in the NFL. He could end up working his way into the mix, assuming Conner or Williams is forced to miss time. That being said, Clement could be someone worth monitoring in deep leagues, assuming the Cardinals do end up signing him.
