Paris Johnson Jr. - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Progressing in recovery Johnson told reporters Monday that his knee injury will be fine "in a couple of weeks" and shouldn't impact his offseason training, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact The third-year pro landed on injured reserve in late December after suffering an MCL injury during the Cardinals' Week 14 loss to the Rams. He started in 12 games prior to his injury and should be fully healthy for the start of training camp in July.

Moved to IR The Cardinals moved Johnson (knee) to injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Johnson sustained his MCL injury in the Cardinals' Week 14 loss to the Rams, and the offensive tackle's season has now officially ended. The 2023 first-rounder played the most snaps at tackle for the Cardinals this season, logging 804 total before succumbing to injury.

Out for Sunday Johnson (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bengals, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact The third-year pro from Ohio State didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday and is now in line to miss his third consecutive game due to a sprained MCL. While Johnson remains sidelined Sunday, expect Josh Fryar to start at left tackle.

Doesn't practice Wednesday Johnson (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Johnson has missed the Cardinals' last two games due to an ankle injury. He hasn't been able to practice since sustaining the injury, and he would be a long shot to play against the Bengals on Sunday unless he were to return to practice by Friday. Josh Fryar should remain the starter at left tackle for as long as Johnson is sidelined.

Missing another week Head coach Jonathan Gannon told reporters Wednesday that Johnson (knee) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The third-year pro from Ohio State is now in line to miss his second game in a row due to a sprained MCL. While Johnson remains sidelined for the Week 16 contest, expect Josh Fryar to start at left tackle.

Not playing Week 15 Johnson (knee) has been ruled out for Arizona's matchup versus the Texans on Sunday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Impact Johnson is considered week-to-week after having been diagnosed with a sprained MCL earlier in the week. In his absence, Josh Fryar will likely start at right tackle during Sunday's game. Johnson's next chance to play will be the Week 16 matchup versus the Falcons.

Week-to-week with knee issue Johnson (knee) has been diagnosed with a sprained MCL and is expected to miss some time, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Paris is the current leader in Pro Bowl votes for offensive tackles, and the loss of the stellar left guard does not bode well for the Cardinals' offense as they head to face the Texans on the road in Week 15. Josh Fryar will likely start alongside fellow backup tackle Kelvin Beachum due to the absence of starter Jonah Williams (shoulder) as well. Jacoby Brissett will have to have the ball out fast against a formidable Texans defense that allows the fewest points per game in the NFL (16.0).
