Edmonds (ankle) will be placed on short-term injured reserve by the Cardinals, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Edmonds has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, and he'll have to miss two additional contests once placed on IR. On the bright side, Pelissero notes that the Cardinals are optimistic Edmonds will be able to return immediately after the three-game absence, which equates to four weeks because the Cardinals have their bye in Week 12. In Edmonds' absence, James Conner should see the majority of snaps in Arizona's backfield, with Eno Benjamin on hand in a change-of-pace role.
