He didn’t look great on the field last Sunday in Tampa, but Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson should still have a role with the team. His time as number one back has likely expired.
With the emergence of Chase Edmonds and Kenyan Drake, Johnson has fallen behind those two in terms of excitement and production. Drake remains the number one for now with Edmonds hurting.
Edmonds was on the injury report again on Wednesday as did not practice. Although Johnson was benched on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and rightfully so, it was likely only for the rest of that game after his fumble.
