Cardinals' DeeJay Dallas: Active Sunday
DeeJay Dallas (illness) is listed as active Sunday at Carolina, Darren Urban of the Arizona Cardinals' official site reports.Dallas came down with an illness late during Week 16 prep and didn't practice Friday, but it won't stop him from being available to the Cardinals' offense this weekend. The backfield won't have the services of Emari Demercado (back, IR) or Trey Benson (ankle, inactive) on Sunday, so Dallas and the elevated Michael Carter will be the RB options behind starter James Conner. Dallas has eight carries for 27 yards on the season.

Cardinals' DeeJay Dallas: Questionable due to illness
DeeJay Dallas didn't practice Friday due to an illness and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Carolina, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.The Arizona Cardinals placed running back Emari Demercado (back) on injured reserve last week and now won't have position mate Trey Benson (ankle) available for Week 16. That left Dallas as the only other RB on the active roster aside from starter James Conner, but the former now is under the weather two days before a game. If Dallas isn't able to suit up Sunday, Michael Carter and Tony Jones are eligible to be elevated from the practice squad, but such transactions will need to occur by Saturday afternoon.

Cardinals' DeeJay Dallas: Set for backup role behind Conner
DeeJay Dallas is one of two healthy running backs on Arizona's 53-man roster as of Friday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.Dallas stepped in as the backup last week with Emari Demercado (back) on injured reserve and Trey Benson then suffering an ankle injury. Benson has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Carolina, leaving only Dallas on the active roster behind workhorse starter James Conner. Arizona Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon didn't say Friday if he plans to call up Michael Carter and/or Tony Jones from the practice squad Saturday. Either way, Dallas doesn't figure to get many touches on offense unless Conner suffers an injury or the game becomes a blowout.

Cardinals' DeeJay Dallas: Earns four carries Sunday
DeeJay Dallas turned four carries into 15 yards during Sunday's 30-17 victory against the Patriots.Emari Demercado's (back) placement on injured reserve Saturday set up Dallas for his third outing of the season with offensive snaps, and rookie third-round pick Trey Benson also exited early due to an ankle injury, allowing Dallas to double up his touch count so far on the campaign. Overall, though, Dallas is averaging 3.4 yards on his eight rushes and hasn't been targeted in 14 appearances. Even if Benson is inhibited or inactive this coming Sunday at Carolina, Dallas likely wouldn't see much work behind workhorse RB James Conner.
