Cardinals lose offensive lineman Paris Johnson Jr. to season-ending injury

Summary

The Arizona Cardinals have announced that offensive lineman Paris Johnson Jr. is out for the remainder of the 2026 season due to a torn bicep sustained during Week 4 against the New York Giants. Johnson, a key player on the offensive line and the sixth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, had been instrumental in the team's performance despite their struggles earlier in the season. The injury marks another significant setback for the Cardinals, who have lost three straight games after an initial win against the Los Angeles Chargers. Johnson will undergo surgery, with Jayden Williams expected to step into the left tackle position in his absence. The Cardinals will face the Detroit Lions in Week 5.
