After Johnson visited with a doctor Monday, it was confirmed that he sustained a dislocated wrist in the Cardinals' season-opening loss to the Lions that would require surgery, resulting in an 8-to-12 week recovery timetable. The lengthy timeline made it an easy decision for the Cardinals to move their star tailback to IR, though the team will likely designate him as one of its two players eligible to return. Since NFL rules require players to spend at least eight weeks on IR before returning, the earliest Johnson could rejoin the Cardinals would be Nov. 7, two days before the team hosts the Seahawks in a Thursday night game. While Johnson is sidelined for at least half the season, coach Bruce Arians is expected to turn to Kerwynn Williams as the team's primary back beginning in Week 2 against the Colts, though Andre Ellington should factor into the mix for third-down work. If Williams is unable to distinguish himself early on, Chris Johnson, who re-signed with the Cardinals on Tuesday after being cut following the conclusion of the preseason, could push Williams for snaps.
