Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson has been out since Week 1 and there is a chance he can return before the end of the season. However, he doesn’t appear to be close.

While he has had his cast removed and is now rehabbing his wrist, he still has a way to go.

Until he able to move it the way he did and not feel stiff, he will not return this season.

Coach Bruce Arians told Somers he doesn’t want to count on any of his players to come back from injured reserve. He doesn’t want to get his hopes up.

Following the Cardinals’ game this weekend against the Los Angeles Rams, there will be only four weeks left in the season.

If Johnson still is dealing with stiffness and limited mobility, it seems unlikely he will return, even if he wants to.
