Cardinals say David Johnson will not return before Thanksgiving
The Arizona Cardinals are still at least a month away from getting running back David Johnson back.
Johnson, who dislocated his wrist in the team’s season opener, won’t be back on the field before Thanksgiving, according to head coach Bruce Arians.
Update: @AZCardinals HC @BruceArians tells @SiriusXMNFL that "earliest" expectation for David Johnson to return is Thanksgiving.

Arizona will have about five games left if Johnson returns at the earliest possible opportunity. The team currently sits at 2-2 and their running game has not done much in Johnson’s absence, though the team has made some moves to try to help it along. They may well only be on the fringes of playoff contention by the time their star tailback returns to action.
