JULY 27 • AZCARDINALS.COM
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.
JULY 25 • ROTOWIRE
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.
JULY 24 • ROTOWIRE
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.

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.
JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE
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.
DECEMBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
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.
DECEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
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.
DECEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
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.
DECEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
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.
DECEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
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).
