Cardinals rookie RB David Johnson finds balance, returns to practice

However, if the Cardinals can even get the type of production he provided for the Jets, where he ran for 663 yards and averaged 4.3 yards per carry in 16 games, they’d likely be getting their money’s worth from the soon-to-be 30-year-old. It’s uncertain whether the signing is to bolster the running back depth or whether it’s just to light a fire under Andre Ellington or David Johnson. The group is led by Andre Ellington and followed by third-round draft pick David Johnson. Marion Grice has also been out with a hamstring injury.

New York Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall came to Geno Smith’s defense, saying the injured quarterback was not at fault in last week’s locker-room fight. My prediction is that Chris Johnson will see his fair share of touches and if harnessed and utilized right is still of age to be productive. Word around town is Massie will appeal the suspension but the Cardinals will most likely lose him for at least a couple of games. Along with that, the offense got another explosive weapon to go along with John Brown and rookie J.J. One of the brighter spots in training camp has been the receiving unit, where “Air-izona” is once again loaded with talent. “So you modify your practice and all your scripts to do something that’s beneficial for all those guys”.

After passing a physical on Monday afternoon, the waiting game was on for Cardinals general manager Steve Keim and Johnson’s agent to reach an agreement.

Something else to watch for this weekend… If he does well in the next three games of the preseason, he will make the final roster. No research needed there, this will be the first time in NFL history this has happened.
