The Facts: He can't play until the Super Bowl, but he can practice. And he is. Johnson, who suffered a fractured tibia in late November, has returned to practice after being placed on injured reserve with the one-per-team-per-year designation to return.
Diehards Line:
While he can participate in practice for the remainder of this week and, if the Cardinals win, next week, he won’t be eligible to play unless and until the Cardinals make their second Super Bowl appearance, by beating the Packers and then the winner of the Seahawks-Panthers game. Johnson had 814 yards rushing in 11 regular-season appearances during his first season with the Cardinals.
