TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) The Arizona Cardinals have not confirmed a report that running back Chris Johnson has a broken left leg.
The injury was reported Monday by Fox Sports.
Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said earlier in the day it was a bruised knee, but MRI results on Johnson weren’t available then.
Johnson’s agent, Joel Segal, did not respond to text and phone messages seeking confirmation of the report that Johnson fractured his tibia in Sunday’s 19-13 victory at San Francisco on Sunday.
Johnson is in the midst of a comeback year after signing with Arizona late in training camp. He is fourth in the NFL in rushing with 814 yards.
His backup, Andre Ellington, also was hurt in the game. Arians says Ellington has turf toe.
