On Wednesday afternoon, Cardinals running back David Johnson said there is no timetable for his return from a dislocated wrist.

But on SiriusXM NFL Radio Wednesday night, Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said the “earliest” Johnson is expected to return is Thanksgiving. The Cardinals play at Houston on Nov. 19, the Sunday before Thanksgiving, and at home against the Jaguars the following week.

Johnson suffered the dislocated wrist in the season opener and was placed on injured reserve. That requires him to sit out six weeks before beginning practice for two weeks. The earliest he could play in a game is Nov.
