Cardinals running back Marlon Mack tore his Achilles and will miss the entire 2023 NFL season after recently signing with Arizona just five days ago, coach Jonathan Gannon told reporters on Wednesday.
Mack worked out with the franchise last week prior to signing and also played in the Cardinals’ Red and White practice, despite receiving a limited number of snaps. The former fourth-round pick in the 2017 NFL draft suffered the injury on Tuesday during the team’s seven-on-seven drills.
When looking at Arizona’s depth at running back, Mack was likely going to be the franchise’s No. 2 running back after James Conner. However, due to his injury, the Cardinals will now rely on Keaontay Ingram and Corey Clement to serve as Conner’s backup.
