Cardinals’ Chris Johnson is out for season

The Arizona Cardinals put Chris Johnson on the injured reserve/designated to return list, a move that means the only way the running back will play again this season is if the team reaches the Super Bowl.

A person with knowledge of the situation said Tuesday that Johnson chipped or fractured his left tibia where it meets the knee. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team has not revealed details of the injury.

Johnson, 30, is fourth in the NFL in rushing with 812 yards.

Officiating crew is reassigned

The NFL moved referee Pete Morelli’s crew off Sunday night’s game between Indianapolis and Pittsburgh.

Morelli’s crew will work an afternoon game between the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots.

The group of officials was criticized by both teams after the game between the San Francisco 49ers and Cardinals on Sunday. Arizona Coach Bruce Arians said the officials “can’t count to three.”

Side judge Rob Vernatchi from Morelli’s crew was suspended for one game this season for not properly keeping track of the game clock in a Pittsburgh-San Diego game. At the time, the league said the error would impact the full-season evaluation of Morelli’s crew.
