Arizona Cardinals running back Andre Ellington says his foot is "probably not going to feel good until January or February or whenever the season is over with," according to Mike Jurecki of FOX Sports. Ellington has a partial tear in a tendon in his foot and has been dealing with it for much of the season. He's clearly not running at 100 percent, in other words.

Ellington isn’t playing poorly by any stretch of the imagination, however. He has 105 carries for 393 yards and a touchdown on the ground. He’s also added 25 receptions for 260 yards and a touchdown through the air. Although, his per-carry average is significantly less (3.7 yards) than his rookie season (5.5 yards).
Fantasy Impact: Fantasy owners would like Ellington to be healthy, but it sounds like he’s going to need a full offseason to get it back where it needs to be. For now, he’ll play with the pain and hope to help the Cardinals to the postseason. He’s been a solid fantasy starter, and he should continue to be going forward.
