Chris Johnson might have finally reached the end of the road.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Cardinals have released the veteran running back, most famous for his 2,006-yard season in 2009.
He was signed just before the start of training camp, after playing just four games for the Cardinals last year because of a groin injury. He had seemingly found a niche as a backup there before the injury.
He hasn’t been a game-breaking back for some time (he averaged 3.8 yards per carry last year, and hasn’t topped 1,000 yards since 2013), and a few weeks short of his 32nd birthday, it might be hard for him to find another gig.
