(KFFL) Darren Urban, of the East Valley Tribune, reports Arizona Cardinals RB J.J. Arrington is ready to accept his new role as backup running back to starting RB Edgerrin James. "I will just try and get in and help where I can," Arrington said following Wednesday's workout, May 31. "If Edge needs a break here and there, I can do that. I'll be catching out of the backfield, mostly." There were questions with how hard Arrington ran when he was in the game last season. While he acknowledged getting more repetitions in practice this week as a first-teamer while James is away can only help, "I also would love for (James) to be here so I can continue to learn from him." Vice president of football operations Rod Graves said having Arrington and RB Marcel Shipp behind James isn't a luxury as much as a necessity.
