Arians says Chris Johnson takes physical with Cardinals

Free agent running back Chris Johnson is reportedly close to signing a deal with the Arizona Cardinals, but Johnson is fortunate to be able to play anywhere in 2015 after being shot in a drive-by back in March.

Ellington, slowed by an injured foot last season, also was out with a hamstring injury most of camp before returning to practice last week.

So while he waits for the phone to ring, Johnson decided to share a little of that harrowing night with his Instagram followers.

Well former New York Jets running back Chris Johnson has you covered.

Arizona had the NFL’s worst rushing offense last season at 3.3 yards per attempt. Keim has had some success with these “prove it” “one and done” contracts, with the only down side being when key players like Karlos Dansby and Antonio Cromartie leave only after their value has increased.

Arizona should be potent offensively provided Carson Palmer can stay healthy. Word around town is Massie will appeal the suspension but the Cardinals will most likely lose him for at least a couple of games. “There’s no way a rookie is going to play in September and miss training camp”. “So you modify your practice and all your scripts to do something that’s beneficial for all those guys”.

– Not surprisingly, he thought tight end Ifeanyi Momah competed and looks like a nice option as receiver, but needs to get better as a blocker in terms of technique since he won’t have the bulk or body type to ever maul as a blocker. Pending a workout and physical with the team, he could then join a injury-filled backfield. If he does well in the next three games of the preseason, he will make the final roster. The photo opportunities should be epic on Saturday, and deservedly so.
