Cardinals' David Johnson: Declares left knee healthy

Johnson relayed Saturday that his left knee is healthy, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports. "My wheel is good. Good to go already. Back training, full throttle. Doing everything," Johnson said.

Analysis:

Johnson electrified throughout the 2016 season, pacing all NFL players in yards from scrimmage (2,118) and touchdowns (20). In the Cardinals' Week 17 thrashing of the Rams, though, he didn't have much of a chance to get in the act, as he injured his left knee early in the second quarter. Thankfully, he was diagnosed with a mere MCL sprain, which is accompanied by a 6-to-8 week recovery timetable. Just over a month later, a video emerged of Johnson jumping out of a pool with the message, "Progress going great!" His statement this weekend confirmed as much, meaning he should be available for the entirety of the offseason program.
