Cardinals QB Carson Palmer (not injury related) missed practice Friday. Arizona plays on Monday night, so this is just a rest day for Palmer. He’s set up for a good game in a good matchup at home with no David Johnson to lean on.

Week 1 at Detroit Lions
David Johnson once went to a casino. He put 10 dollars on the roulette table and said, “put it on David Johnson.” The dealer spun the wheel and the ball bounced out of the wheel and landed in David Johnson’s hand. The house never beats David Johnson.
Johnson was dynamite last season, catching 80 balls and running the ball 293 times for a combined 2,118 yards from scrimmage and 20 touchdowns. Expect the Cardinals to continue to feature him this year. Johnson is a must-start every week regardless of matchup. Detroit was very average on defense last season, allowing 22.4 points per game to opposing offenses. Johnson might get all of those points.
