Chris Johnson to remain Cardinals starting running back vs. 49ers

The Arizona Cardinals lost running back David Johnson to injury Week 1, and with the start expected to miss at least a couple months, they are rotating through options to replace him. For the time being, they have settled on Chris Johnson. The veteran led the team with 12 rushes in Week 3, and finished with 17 yards. Andre Ellington led the team with 22 yards on five carries, and Kerwynn Williams had one rush for three yards.

In Week 1, Williams led the team in carries after Johnson went down.
