Cardinals reportedly adding Alfred Morris to backfield

The Arizona Cardinals signed free agent running back Alfred Morris.

What It Means:

This may be an indication that David Johnson (back) isn't playing in Week 8 against the New Orleans Saints. Morris has been on the open market all season after spending training camp with the Dallas Cowboys. Chase Edmonds is still expected to handle lead-back duties if Johnson is ruled out.

Morris rushed 111 times for 428 yards (3.9 per carry) and 2 touchdowns in 12 games for the San Francisco 49ers last season.
