Is Bam Knight playing today? Cardinals RB injury news is key update for Week 11

His real name is Zonovan Knight, but he goes by Bam.

Regardless, the Arizona Cardinals need him on the field in Week 11. They still don't have Trey Benson.

And without Benson, this is a running game that needs to figure out a go-to-guy to stick around on the scoreboard.

Knight has been that guy most often of late, with the backfield also including Michael Carter and Emari Demercado.

But this week, Knight is dinged up. And that's not ideal.

Is Bam Knight playing today?

Yes, Bam Knight is supposed to be healthy and play in Week 11.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Bam is "expected to play" against the San Francisco 49ers.

That's big news for the Cardinals, who have relied on Knight much more on early downs lately than they have with Carter.

If Knight did miss out, Carter would be the last-ditch replacement option for fantasy football managers.

But right now, it's not totally clear that Knight will miss out at all. He may have made it back to health just in time.
