Just in time for training camp. The Arizona Cardinals announced earlier today that Chris Johnson was returning on a one-year deal.
Previously Johnson has said he wanted to go somewhere where he would be able to start. He won’t get that in Arizona but he should be the first backup to David Johnson.
Chris Johnson saw his 2016 season cut short due to injury. He was eligible to return in December off of injured reserve, however the Cardinals decided to bring safety Tyvon Branch off instead. Under the new 2017 rules, Johnson would have been able to return as well.
