The question of what would the team do with Chris Johnson, the fourth leading rusher in the league, has been answered. Today, as Darren Urban reports, the team put Johnson on IR-to-Return clearing a roster spot for Kerwynn Williams to return to the team from the practice squad.
Johnson is eligible to return after eight weeks (January 26) and can practice after six weeks. This puts the hopes squarely on the Cardinals being successful throughout the playoffs and winning the NFC Championship Game leading into Super Bowl 50 in Santa Clara, the site of his injury.
