David Johnson 2017 Season

Postby DonJulio » Wed Nov 08, 2017 12:01 am

I couldn't find another thread here discussing his outlook recently, so starting this. There were talks earlier in the season that DJ could return around Thanksgiving (3 weeks out from now). That is looking more and more unlikely now as the Cardinals have since lost Palmer and signed Adrian Peterson.

Per NFL on October 31:
Initial optimism that David Johnson could return this season from a dislocated wrist injury appears to have waned in the desert.

Asked if Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arians foresees his star running back returning this year from the wrist injury that was expected to keep him out until at least December, Arians said he's not optimistic.

"You'd have to ask the doctors," Arians said. "Right now, I'd doubt it."
The Cardinals sit at 4-4, 1 game out of playoffs behind Seattle. Their remaining schedule includes SEA, HOU -- Thanksgiving -- JAX, LAR, TENN, WAS, NYG, SEA. They have a <15% chance for playoffs per a few sites.

David Johnson is also raising a son born earlier this year.

What's your take?

Pretty certain I saw a report couple days ago where either he or Arians effectively tabled his possible return

He's done for the year. And I'd be worried about him next year, not because of the injury, but because that team is set to lose a lot of offensive pieces.

No chance they activate DJ. They are only going to waste AP, risk DJ, and ruin their draft position.

Cast supposed to come off Monday. Better idea of progress but I still can't imagine the team wanting to send him out there in what will likely be meaningless games.

If palmer was healthy then maybe. Now I say 0 chance.
