The word is in on David Johnson.
The Arizona Cardinals star running back suffered an injured left wrist during the third quarter of Sunday’s Week 1 game between the Cardinals and Detroit Lions. X-Rays came back negative, according to ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio, but Johnson isn’t in the clear just yet.

Obviously, losing Johnson would be a crippling blow to the Cardinals, who lost to the Lions 35-23 in Detroit.
But it also would be hugely disappointing for many fantasy football owners, as Johnson was a popular No. 1 draft choice. If he’s forced to miss any time, 26-year-old back Kerwynn Williams becomes an intriguing fantasy option.
