Cardinals' CB Will Johnson Could Be Out for the Season with a Neck Injury
Coach Mike LaFleur said the second-round pick could miss the rest of the season, and the team does not expect surgery.
- On Monday, Head Coach Mike LaFleur announced starting cornerback Will Johnson could miss the rest of the 2026 season following a neck injury sustained during Sunday's 31-7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
- Johnson, who played just 12 games in 2025 due to recurring back, hip, and groin injuries, started the first two games of this season and emerged as a key defensive piece.
- The Cardinals' secondary faces additional challenges, as cornerback Max Melton is day-to-day with a toe injury, while slot cornerback Garrett Williams continues working his way back from an Achilles injury.
- With Johnson heading to injured reserve, the team will lean on Kei'Trel Clark and Kalen King, while potentially elevating veteran Starling Thomas from the practice squad to the 53-man roster.
- Arizona prepares for a road clash against the San Francisco 49ers next Sunday, where they must contain a receiving trio including Deebo Samuel, Mike Evans, and Demarcus Robinson.
