The Facts: Speaking at the NFL Scouting Combine, GM Steve Keim made it clear that Ellington's future with the club depends on his ability to stay healthy.

Diehards Line:Ellington has missed 10 games the past two years and has gone from being the team’s featured back to someone who struggles to stay on the field. While lauding Ellington’s talent, Keim didn’t mince words about Ellington’s tenuous future. “Andre’s a dynamic player, there’s no doubt about that,” Keim said on Wednesday. “We love his skill set, but it’s no secret the guy has had durability problems. As an organization, you have expectations and if a guy doesn’t fulfill those expectations, you may have to move on. “Hopefully, Andre’s not in a situation where we have to move on. I’d love to keep Andre long term, yet at the same time, he’s got to stay healthy.” As Republic staffer Kent Somers reminded readers, Ellington has yet to prove that he can handle a heavy workload. In contrast, David Johnson showed that he could last year as a rookie, said Keim.
