The Arizona Cardinals outlasted the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, 19-13, but they lost their two main running backs to injuries in the process.
Andre Ellington suffered a foot injury, and Chris Johnson walked to the locker room in the third quarter after suffering a knee injury. Neither returned, and head coach Bruce Arians said he wasn’t sure about the status of either back during a postgame interview with Paul Calvisi of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM (via Craig Grialou of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM).
Fortunately for the Cardinals, rookie running back David Johnson scored a touchdown and kept the rushing attack afloat.
