Cardinals' Andre Ellington says foot won't fully heal during season

Andre Ellington says he won't be fully healthy until the season is over. 

The Arizona running back, a major reason why the Cardinals are 5-1 and atop the NFC West, has been battling a partial tendon tear in his foot all year.

"It's probably not going to feel good until January or February or whenever the season is over with," Ellington said Wednesday.

Ellington has rushed for 393 yards and a touchdown, and has caught 25 passes for 260 yards and a touchdown this season.

Arizona faces the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
