Chris Johnson has signed for the Arizona Cardinals.

The veteran running back, who ran for over 2,000 yards in 2009 to earn the nickname “CJ2K,” signed with the NFC West team on a one-year contract, according to ProFootballTalk reporter Michael David Smith, who noted that Johnson passed a physical that took place today.

Turning 30 next month, Johnson is coming off a career-worst season in Tennessee, where he split carries with second-round rookie Bishop Sankey and managed just 155 carries for 663 yards and a single touchdown. However, with both last year’s lead back Andre Ellington and third-round rookie David Johnson both dealing with hamstring injuries, and none of the alternatives lower down the depth chart standing out, head coach Bruce Arians was always in position to seek help on the roster.

He was quoted by Arizona Republic journalist Kent Somers as saying he “wasn’t that fired up about the running backs’ performances” in a practice session earlier this month, and the 2014 NFL Coach of the Year refused to rule out adding a free agent, other than stating it would not be scandal-hit Ray Rice. Now, the official Scouting Combine 40-yard dash record-holder has what may be his last opportunity to make an impact in the NFL – and Cardinals fans and fantasy players alike will be keeping a close eye on the situation.
