Moved to injured reserve The Cardinals placed Johnson (biceps) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact The moves comes after Johnson was diagnosed with a torn left biceps that he sustained toward the end of the Cardinals' Week 4 loss to the Giants. He'll spend the rest of the 2026 season on IR and aim to be fully healthy for the start of the 2027 campaign, which will be the final year of his rookie contract. Jayden Williams, Josh Fryar and the recently acquired Jedrick Wills (signed from the Bills' practice squad) are all candidates to start at left tackle in Johnson's absence.

Done for the season Johnson (biceps) has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2026 season, Dani Sureck of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Johnson sustained a biceps injury during the Cardinals' Week 4 loss to the Giants. The injury is severe, and the star left tackle will now need to miss the remainder of the 2026 season. Josh Fryer or Jayden Williams will start on the Cardinals' offensive line as Johnson's replacement.

Activated off PUP list The Cardinals activated Johnson (undisclosed) off the active/PUP list Saturday.

Impact Johnson is healthy again after having spent just two days on the PUP list due to an undisclosed issue. The 25-year-old will once again serve as Arizona's starting left tackle during the upcoming campaign.

Dealing with minor knee issue Johnson, who was placed on the PUP list Thursday, is managing a knee injury that isn't considered serious, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Johnson finished last season on IR due to an MCL injury, and he's not quite ready to participate in training camp. However, coach Matt LeFleur said that the offensive lineman's placement on the physically unable to perform list was "really just maintenance" and indicated that Johnson will "be back before you know it." It sounds like Johnson is expected to be good to go by the beginning of the regular season, and he's slated to be Arizona's starting left tackle.

Beginning camp on PUP list Johnson (undisclosed) was placed on the physically unable to perform list Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Johnson will not be available for the start of training camp. The offensive tackle was unable to finish the 2025 regular season due to a knee issue, and it is unclear whether his current injury is related to last year's recovery process. Johnson had his fifth-year option picked up in April, so regardless of when the tackle is ready, he is set to return to play for the Cardinals through 2027.

Contract option picked up The Cardinals have picked up their fifth-year option on Johnson's contract, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Per the report, the option calls for just over $19 million for the 2027 season, though it's possible that the Cardinals and the offensive tackle could reach an agreement on an extension before then. The No. 6 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft finished up the 2025 regular season on IR due to a knee issue, but has since had ample time to recover, which puts Johnson on track to be healthy the next time Arizona takes the field.
