Cardinals coach Bruce Arians told reporters Tuesday all of the team's running backs were practicing in full, which included Andre Ellington, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury.

Ellington did play in the preseason opener, totaling 3 yards on three carries and two catches for 59 yards. He opened the scoring Sunday against the Chiefs with a 2-yard rushing touchdown in the first quarter.

The Cardinals reached a one-year agreement with running back Chris Johnson, the team announced Monday.

Johnson recently passed a physical with the Cardinals. He rushed for 663 yards on 155 carries for the Jets last season.

Cardinals coach Bruce Arians confirmed running back Chris Johnson has passed his physical. However, he added no contract is in place yet and Johnson remains a free agent as of Monday afternoon.

The Redskins made roster moves with three injured players, the team announced on Sunday. 

The team waived/injured RB Silas Redd, who was injured in the first preseason game. He can be placed on IR if he's unclaimed. 

Tight ends Logan Paulsen and Niles Paul also went down to injury. Both were placed in injured reserve. 

To help fill the hole the injuries left at tight end, the Redskins signed Ernst Brun.

The Cowboys moved running back Darren McFadden to the active roster, from the PUP list on Saturday, per the NFL Network. 

McFadden opened camp on PUP because of a hamstring injury. 

Redskins running back Silas Redd will miss the 2015 season with a knee injury, coach Jay Gruden announced on Saturday. 

Redd suffered a torn MCL and ACL in his right knee in Friday's reseason game. 

"It's very unfortunate for Silas," Gruden said. "He was having a good camp and making good progress."

Tests on the right knee of Redskins running back Silas Redd confirmed that he tore the ACL and MCL in the knee, according to the Washington Post.

Redd suffered the injury while getting tackled during Thursday's preseason game against the Browns.

Backup running back Silas Redd potentially suffered a torn ACL and MCL in the Redskins' preseason opener on Thursday, and could be lost for the season, per the Washington Post. 

Redd was injured on a running play in the third quarter of the team's win over the Browns, as his right leg was bent under him during a tackle. The Redskins are awaiting the results of an MRI on Redd's knee, the same one he injured during college. 

Redskins running back Silas Redd has been carted off the field with a sprained right knee and is out for the rest of the game Thursday night in Cleveland, per ESPN.

Redd hurt his leg on a carry in the third quarter.

Cardinals running back Andre Ellington, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury during training camp, is nearing "full speed," according to coach Bruce Arians, and may be available to play during Saturday's preseason opener. 

Ellington has missed several practices, and the Cardinals running game is in such a flux that the team reportedly offered free-agent back Chris Johnson a contract.
