David Johnson Cleared to Return After Undergoing Surgery on Wrist Injury

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson is back working out with the team after missing the final 15 games last season with a wrist injury. 

NFL Network's Omar Ruiz shared a video of Johnson working out after reporting he has been fully cleared for football activities:

Johnson injured his left wrist in the third quarter of Arizona's first game last season against the Detroit Lions. He was diagnosed with a dislocated wrist and underwent surgery on Sept. 17. 

Then-head coach Bruce Arians announced in November that Johnson wouldn't return to the field due to a lack of progress in his rehab from surgery. 

A third-round pick by the Cardinals in 2015, Johnson emerged as their starting running back two years ago. He led the NFL with 2,118 yards from scrimmage and 20 total touchdowns during the 2016 season. 

Coming off an 8-8 record last season, the Cardinals signed Sam Bradford to take over as their starting quarterback after Carson Palmer retired. Johnson's return will provide a safety net for the offense because of his ability to run out of the backfield or line up at wide receiver.
