The Facts: The Dolphins agreed to trade Drake to the Arizona Cardinals in exchange for a conditional 2020 draft pick.
Diehards Line:
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport added that the pick is a sixth-rounder that can become a fifth-round pick. Miami telegraphed a Drake trade was in the hopper when it left the healthy running back in South Beach as the team traveled to Pittsburgh for Monday's matchup with the Steelers. The Cardinals running back room has been decimated by injury. David Johnson is dealing with an ankle injury that held him out of Sunday's loss to New Orleans and is expected to sideline him at least another week. Chase Edmonds also suffered a hamstring injury Sunday that relegated him to just 30 snaps. After the game, coach Kliff Kingsbury said there was "definitely concern" Edmond's hamstring could keep him out this week. With the Cards facing the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday, the lack of rest placed Arizona's RB situation in dire straits. Zach Zenner, who just signed last week, was the only healthy RB who saw a snap after Edmonds went down Sunday. Alfred Morris was inactive, and D.J. Foster has also been dealing with an injury.
