The Facts: Johnson's wrist is healed, with his strength and full range of motion having returned, and he's anxious to play again given that he doesn't even feel like he played football in 2017. "Football can end in the blink of an eye," Johnson said. "So I feel more grateful to where I'll do as much as I can to stay on that field as long as I can."
Diehards Line:
Like everyone else, the running back is paying attention to the Cardinals’ current search for a head coach. Johnson said he was “hit hard” by the retirement of Bruce Arians, and that he believes he and Adrian Peterson “can really elevate each other’s game” if they play together this season. The running back said he has no idea who the quarterback will be, but that he has confidence in both Blaine Gabbert and Drew Stanton if one of them is the starting signal-caller. We're all obviously awaiting the same resolution Johnson is when it comes to the Cardinals HC and QB. We'll be watching for more on those -- and on Johnson's return from the season-ending wrist injury he suffered in Week 1 in coming days and weeks.
