The Cardinals had absolutely nothing to play for on Sunday, which made David Johnson's knee injury especially painful.
Johnson, who experienced a historic second year with 2,118 yards from scrimmage, exited the Cardinals' season finale and was carted back to the locker room after his leg bent awkwardly while getting tackled in the first quarter. He didn't return to the game.
But on Monday, Cardinals coach Bruce Arians delivered good news: An MRI showed that Johnson sprained his MCL and he will not require surgery.
