Cardinals coach Bruce Arians suggested that running back Chris Johnson would remain heavily involved in the Cardinals' game plan in the Week 4 matchup with the Rams, Alex Marvez of FOX Sports 1 reports.

Despite the expected return of Andre Ellington (knee), Johnson looks poised to lead the Cardinals' rushing attack, with Arians projecting him to receive '15-to-20' touches.

Johnson certainly looked up to the task this past week, as he carried 20 times for 110 yards and two touchdowns in the team's resounding win over the 49ers. It looks like Arians will stick with the veteran back until his production slows, after which Ellington figures to assume the lead role once again.
