Chris Johnson: Expected to miss 6-8 weeks

Johnson (fractured tibia) is expected to miss 6-8 weeks, Mike Jurecki of FOX Sports 910 Phoenix reports.

Analysis:

The diagnosis of a fractured tibia hasn't been confirmed by the Cardinals, but assuming the reports are accurate, Johnson will miss the rest of the regular season. With Andre Ellington (turf toe) also likely to miss time, rookie David Johnson is set to lead the Arizona backfield. The Cardinals likely still hope to have Chris Johnson back at some point during the playoffs.
