Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson is dealing with an undisclosed issue.

Veteran beat reporter Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic noted Johnson missed practice time this week with an injury. The running back watched voluntary organized team activities Thursday.

"It's the offseason, and I'm not going to really indulge in injuries or things like that," Wilks said. "We're going to talk about the guys that are out there."

Teams aren't required to give injury updates during offseason workouts. As Somers notes, however, Wilks' response to questions about Johnson was different than how he's handled queries regarding other injured players since becoming the head coach.

It sounds like it is nothing.
Maybe David Johnson was given the day off?
Hard to tell without an injury report.

Or perhaps a contract dispute? Wilks gave the canned response that Coaches use when a player is holding out during voluntary practices.

I had not thought about that.
Hopefully that is not the case with David Johnson, but you never know.

My bad. It said unknown issue not injury. I updated the thread title.

Final year of his rookie contract. I'm guessing he wants to avoid injury until he signs a long term contract. Again just a guess.

True.
All of the warning signals will go off, if he misses any mini camp. Until then all we can do is speculate on what is going on with David Johnson.

One of the absolute best Arian's quotes: "With rank comes privilege"

Damn right.

Talk about the single guy that doesn't need the offseason. David Johnson is looking like a literal beast wearing football equipment. No worried, not even a little.

Guy can take as much time as he needs to be ready for the season.

We all should know better than to fall for Kent Somers offseason gaslighting by now. The guy will do anything for clicks.

Unknown anal injury (butt-hurt)

Play your contract out and earn it, Until over-paid players start taking cuts en masse, I will never agree with players bitching about over-playing their contract.

You just missed an entire season due to a bum wrist... Suck it up sunshine.

Is David Johnson due for an extension with Cardinals?
Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson created a stir in recent days.

Johnson missed on-field work and observed from the sidelines the past week during organized team activities.

Cardinals coach Steve Wilks declined to go into particulars on what kept the running back from the practice field, but NFL Network's Mike Garafolo and Tom Pelissero reported the star running back is not injured.

Well since everyone is speculating, I saw on his twiiter that he was getting Cox gigablast. I think he was home reconfiguring his router and wifi so as to be able to get the best download/upload speed for gaming and be able to stream multiple online platforms in any room in the house simutanously, including IPTV services which can take alitte bit to configure.
I don't think I'm reading too much into his tweet at all
