Knight will remain in Arizona on a one-year contract for 2026, but he now faces significant competition for any backfield reps after the Cardinals selected Jeremiyah Love at No. 3 overall in this year's draft and inked Tyler Allgeier in free agency, not to mention returnees James Conner and Trey Benson (knee). While injuries to Conner and Benson allowed Knight to step into a notable role for much of 2025, he appears destined for just reserve and special-teams duties, at best, this season.
