Johnson (toe) is active for Sunday's NFC championship game in Carolina, Mark Dalton of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Analysis:

Over his last three games, Johnson has mustered 35 rushes for 99 yards, which equates to a measly 2.8 YPC. Even if the Panthers' fourth-ranked run defense similarly corrals the rookie back, his pass-catching chops should ensure relevance against a unit that gave up the second-most receptions (106) to running backs in the regular season.
