Cardinals RB Andre Ellington 'not limited in anything...feeling good' in OTAs

On the field for the first day of OTAs (organized team activities) Tuesday, Andre Ellington proclaimed himself healthy and ready to go.

"I'm not limited in anything," he said. "I'm out here running, running around, feeling good."

None of Ellington's injuries were the type that would keep him out long-term or inhibit him going forward. Once healed, he would essentially be the same player he was prior to getting hurt.

Fantasy Impact: 

The Cardinals drafted David Johnson to lighten Ellington’s workload, and a reduction in touches may actually help his effectiveness, though it's unlikely to help his per game fantasy production. Ellington averaged 22.0 touches per game, but only managed 3.3 YPC after averaging 5.5 YPC in his rookie season.

Cardinals RB Andre Ellington (foot) working his way back

Cardinals RB Andre Ellington on his recovery from a foot injury: "I'm close to doing a lot of things I've done in the past. Just (this week) I was able to do all my cuts and put a lot more pressure on my foot."

Ellington felt the opposite of threatened when the Cardinals drafted running back David Johnson in the third round last week. If Johnson, from Northern Iowa, is what the Cardinals think he is, he will lighten Ellington's load.

"I don't see why not," Ellington said when asked if he would be helped by the addition of Johnson. "It allows me to have more rest time, and it should keep the offense upbeat."

Cardinals Beat: David Johnson 'unlikely' to supplant Andre Ellington

Cardinals RB David Johnson has the makings of a player who can have an immediate impact out of a small school. He’ll enter offseason workouts with an opportunity to be a three-down running back if he can learn the Cardinals’ offensive scheme, coach Bruce Arians said.

It’s unlikely, however, that he’ll supplant Andre Ellington as the starting running back.

“I think Andre will continue his same role,” Arians said. “We’ll keep him healthy and let him continue to develop as a player, but the nice thing David can do is he can do everything Andre does, so you don’t have to change if there was an injury.”

Fantasy Impact: 

The Cardinals have been trying to add a bigger back to complement Ellington, but it sounds as if Arians feels Johnson is more of an Ellington clone. Arians confirmed that Ellington should continue in his current role with Johnson serving as his primary backup.
