Marlon Mack Is An RB2 In Week 12
Marlon Mack has struggled to regain his breakout form he had just a few weeks ago. Fortunately for him, he gets an easier matchup this week against a Miami Dolphins unit that ranks 30th in the NFL in rushing yards allowed this season. Mack has performed best when he is given a good amount of volume to gradually wear down a defense over the course of the game, as well as, giving him more opportunities to bust a big play. The Colts will likely be without starting center Ryan Kelly this week, but the offensive line should be able to account for that issue. Mack can be started with great confidence this week as a solid RB2, especially with guys like Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley and Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt on a bye.

Marlon Mack Injures Leg Tuesday
Marlon Mack (leg) suffered a left leg injury during Tuesday's practice and had to be helped off the field. This was only his third practice with the team. The veteran signed with Arizona last Friday, coinciding with an injury to presumptive backup Keaontay Ingram (abdominal). Mack has an extensive injury history, including a torn Achilles in 2020 as a member of the Indianapolis Colts. Last season, the 27-year-old tallied 84 yards over eight games with San Francisco and Denver. Healthy running backs Corey Clement, Ty'Son Williams, and rookie Emari Demercado will now take reps behind starter James Conner in training camp.

Marlon Mack Has Good Day At Practice
Marlon Mack reportedly had a good day at practice on Saturday. The 27-year-old, who signed with the team on Friday, has played 53 games for the Colts, 49ers, and Broncos since 2017, totaling 2,568 yards and 21 touchdowns off 583 carries. Mack appeared to have "fresh legs" while making "some physical and some long runs." However, while the update is encouraging, he'll be hard to trust even if he is on the roster come Week 1, considering he will probably be the No. 3 option on the depth chart, at best.

Cardinals Add Veteran Marlon Mack To Backfield
Marlon Mack to an undisclosed deal on Friday and cut long-snapper Jack Coco in a corresponding move. The Cardinals added Mack to their backfield after working him out at training camp on Thursday. The 27-year-old will add more depth behind starter James Conner entering the 2023 season. He played in eight games with the Denver Broncos (six contests) and San Francisco 49ers (two games) last year and rushed 16 times for 84 yards and one touchdown, adding eight receptions for 99 yards and another score. Mack ended the 2022 campaign on Injured Reserve with a hamstring injury. He's not a lock to make the final roster in Arizona and probably won't have much of a role if he does make the team out of camp.

Cardinals Work Out Marlon Mack
Marlon Mack at training camp on Thursday. The Cardinals could use some more backfield depth behind starter James Conner entering the 2023 campaign, as right now all they have is Corey Clement, Keaontay Ingram, Ty'Son Williams and rookie Emari Demercado at the position. Mack finished last year on Injured Reserve with the Denver Broncos and played in eight total games with Denver and the San Francisco 49ers, seeing 16 carries for 84 yards and one touchdown. The 27-year-old also caught eight of 10 targets for 99 yards and another score. If he lands in Arizona, he'll strictly be backfield depth if he makes the final roster out of training camp.
