spiegepj10 0 Posted October 4, 2017 Does anyone have any updates on David Johnson's return and if you expect him to have a considerable impact? I'm 3-1 with him on my bench. Can only imagine if he was healthy. Crossing my fingers for him returning start FF playoffs and taking me into a deep run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Challenger 72 Posted October 4, 2017 The cast will stay on for 8 weeks. Then maybe a week for rest and 2 weeks practice? So week 13 is a good date to expect him to return. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spiegepj10 0 Posted October 4, 2017 What type of realistic production can I expect? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Challenger 72 Posted October 4, 2017 I would expect no less than RB1 really. IF he can return in time, and IF you can make it to the playoff without him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cdogge 17 Posted October 4, 2017 See I wouldn't expect RB1 per se. The Cardinals o-line is one of the worst in recent memory. He'll obviously still be a no-brainer start if he returns but Palmer probably won't be alive by then either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

polecatt 404 Posted October 4, 2017 I don't know that he comes back this season. Week 13 is the best case scenario. Even if that happens, I only see him getting on the field much if any at all if they are in playoff contention I don't see the Cardinals being in playoff contention. They could be on the outer edges, have him play a game or two and then shut down when they are ultimately eliminated. He's worth keeping on the bench but I just don't see him being very relevant he rest of the way out, but I could be wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Challenger 72 Posted October 4, 2017 RB1 is just a technical term, where you cannt put more than 12 guys that's better play than him if he suits up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jgcrawfish 232 Posted October 4, 2017 I disagree here. If it's 8 weeks in a cast, that arm is going to atrophy and he's going to have strength issues. If they at all suspect he's going to fumble because he can't secure the ball with the weakness in the arm, they'll sit him. It typically takes twice as long to gain back muscle lost from casted injuries than it does to lose it. I think the earliest we would see him is 12 weeks after it happened and even then it might be situational, depending on how AZ is doing. Just my opinion.

I thought about editing my comment but you are correct. I probably should have said something more like "Highly doubt he'll perform like #1 overall pick".

CornKobb 48 Posted October 5, 2017 does anyone have any concrete facts that he will be in a cast for 8 weeks? I could be dead wrong but never saw that stated. are we just guessing on the 8 weeks in a cast thing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Challenger 72 Posted October 5, 2017 does anyone have any concrete facts that he will be in a cast for 8 weeks? I could be dead wrong but never saw that stated. are we just guessing on the 8 weeks in a cast thing? Since I have DJ, I did some medical research for recovery time on dislocated wrist. Some MD site I saw say the wrist needs to be in cast for 8 weeks. Could be sooner, could be longer, but that's probably the ball park. The 8 Weeks cast time matches the 3 to 4 months return time that's been stated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SaintsInDome2006 128 Posted October 5, 2017 Why not hope for Week 9-10? IR is 8 weeks, when he comes off IR maybe he returns. The last shot of him on the sideline from a couple weeks ago showed him with no cast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Challenger 72 Posted October 5, 2017 There is Wish, then Hope, then reality. I usually live around hope, and that's Week 13. Week 10 is fantasy land. If his cast is off, there would of been news across the world for the #1 drafted RB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jgcrawfish 232 Posted October 5, 2017 If I'm AZ and out of the playoffs, he's done for the year. I'm not bringing him back in to have him get injured and miss more time for a futile season end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,489 Posted October 5, 2017 Zona needs to sale tickets in December. So they keep saying he's due to return. No playoffs chances he's not returning to play a game in December. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maulers1973 117 Posted October 5, 2017 They're 2-2. The Eagles have injuries in the secondary, and I believe DL Cox is likely to miss this weekends game. If the Cardinals can eek out a win this weekend, they're 3-2 and hardly out of contention. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gepetto 994 Posted October 5, 2017 His coach said Tuesday that they hope to have him back around Christmas. That's what I saw. The coach actually said Thanksgiving or Christmas but Rotoworld quoted some Tweet that the person left off the Thanksgiving part of what head coach Arians actually said. Basically he could be back as early as 2 to 2.5 months from the day of surgery is what I've read and heard on recovery time, earliest possibility anyway.

Ive only seen December time being the return period. But if thanksgiving is also a possibility that would could be different. Unless Zona is doing so bad. But I still say that they are trying to sale seats. Thanks for the reply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
