Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said Monday running back Rashard Mendenhall will likely "resume his role" once he returns from a toe injury. Though, Mendenhall will cut into Stepfan Taylor's playing time and not Andre Ellington, who rushed for 154 yards and one touchdown on 15 carries Week 8 vs. Atlanta.
Arians' plan was to get Ellington 15-20 touches Sunday. Arians said Ellington still needs to improve in pass protection.
