NFC Notes: Cardinals, Eagles, Lions

Cardinals

• According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, the Cardinals plan to shift to a running back by committee approach with new RB Kenyan Drake taking the bulk of the touches. 
• Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio points out the dilemma Arizona will have if they want to re-sign Drake after this season, as Cardinals RB David Johnson is set to make $10.2 million guaranteed in 2020. 
• Florio theorizes that Arizona could give up a pick to get another team to take on Johnson’s salary. 
• Johnson played seven total snaps on Sunday and didn’t receive a single carry. 

Eagles

• Jimmy Kempski of the Philly Voice believes this is 37-year-old OT Jason Peters last season given since first-round rookie OT Andre Dillard has played so well while Peters has been hurt this season. 
• NJ.com’s Mike Kaye reports the Eagles have also discussed extensions for K Jake Elliott, P Cameron Johnston and LS Rick Lovato. 

Lions

• Lions HC Matt Patricia announced after Sunday’s game that DE Trey Flowers and C Frank Ragnow are both in the concussion protocol.
