NFL Notes: Cardinals, Chiefs, Dolphins, Eagles

Cardinals

While Cardinals HC Bruce Ariansย mentioned earlier in the week that he doubts RB David Johnsonย will return this year (NFLTR), Johnsonย saysย neitherย heย norย Ariansย knowsย forย sureย ifย he’ll be back.

โ€œNo,ย itโ€™s not stunningย [that Arians doubts his return],โ€ Johnson said, via Bob McManamanย of theย Arizona Republic. โ€œThatโ€™s the way heโ€™s thinking. Heโ€™s been in the league and been coaching for a while. Like him, he doesnโ€™t know. We donโ€™t know whatโ€™s going to happen. Iโ€™m still in this cast for a couple weeks, so who knows whatโ€™s going to happen?โ€

Johnson added that he plans to remainย optimistic about this season.

โ€œYeah, Iโ€™m definitely still staying optimistic,โ€ Johnson said. โ€œThatโ€™s the thing, staying optimistic. Iโ€™m still trying to get on the field as soon as I can, but Iโ€™ve got to be 100 percent. Iโ€™ve got to make sure the wrist is 100 percent.โ€

Chiefs

On Wednesday, a report surfaced that the Chiefs were activating OLB Tamba Hali from the PUP list (NFLTR). However, Chiefs HC Andy Reid isn’t sure why Hali wasn’t at practice.

โ€œIโ€™m not sure exactly whatโ€™s going on, toย be honest with you,โ€ Reid said, via theย Kansas City Star. โ€œWhen I walked out here, he was not practicing. [General Manager] Brett Veach is dealing with all that. I donโ€™t know exactly the situation and whatโ€™s going on right now. Thatโ€™s between Brett, Tamba and his representatives.โ€

Dolphins

Dolphins DT Ndamukong Suh tells Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald that he isn’t really concerned about the recent report that Miami could be looking to move on from him (NFLTR) after this season.

โ€œI didnโ€™t really know about it until somebody made me aware of it,โ€ Suh said. โ€œIโ€™m not really concerned about it. I came to play here for Mr. Ross and help this organization win games, and make this defense an elite defense. Thatโ€™s my goal.โ€

According to Suh, he plans to finish out his career in Miami.

โ€œI obviously signed a long-term deal here and I look forward to ending my career here,โ€ Suh said.

Eagles

Eagles veteran RB LeGarrette Blount said he had no reaction to the news that the team had traded for Jay Ajayiย (NFLTR) before the deadline.

โ€œThere was no reaction. I canย only control what I can control,โ€ Blount said, via NJ.com. โ€œThat was a decision that was made from up top. โ€ฆย That is something I canโ€™t answer. As far as I go, Iโ€™m just worried about me, what I can control and grind every day like Iโ€™ve been doing.โ€
