Cardinals running back Andre Ellington (knee) is listed as probable for Sunday's game in Detroit, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Ellington is set to play for the first time since Week 1, but his starting gig is presumably a thing of the past. Chris Johnson figures to handle most of the early-down work, with Ellington occasionally spelling him and getting most of the passing-down snaps. Ellington could still have some nice games when the Cardinals go pass-heavy, but there will be some quiet weeks ahead when the team is able to sit on a lead. With both of Detroit's starting defensive tackles out for Sunday's game, the Cards will likely want to run Chris Johnson up the middle quite a bit in the first quarter.
