Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson will miss the remainder of the 2026 NFL season due to a neck fracture sustained during Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks. Wilson suffered the injury early in the game but played through it, showcasing significant resilience despite the severity of the injury. The Cardinals, currently with three wins this season, face further challenges with other key injuries, including Kendrick Bourne, who is also out for the season. With Wilson's absence, the team's receiver corps has severely depleted, leading to speculation about potential acquisitions to bolster the roster for the remainder of the season.
