Arizona Cardinals running back Andre Ellington will miss Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears due to a knee injury.

Ellington sprained the posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during the season-opening victory over the New Orleans Saints. He didn’t practice all week and the club ruled him out on Friday’s injury report.

“He was running,” coach Bruce Arians told reporters. “He’s running fine in rehab. No sense in putting him in the turf.”

Ellington will be replaced as the starter by offseason acquisition Chris Johnson, the veteran back who rushed for 2,006 yards for the Tennessee Titans in 2009 as part of a string of six straight 1,000-yard seasons.

David Johnson, a rookie from Northern Iowa, will also pick up expanded duties.
