Story summary

Paris Johnson Jr., the starting left tackle for the Arizona Cardinals, will miss the rest of the NFL season after tearing his left biceps during a game against the New York Giants on Sunday, resulting in a 36-24 loss. Mike LaFleur, the first-year coach of the Cardinals, announced that Johnson would undergo surgery soon to start his recovery process. The injury occurred towards the end of the match when Johnson was seen holding his left arm before leaving the field. In Johnson’s absence, rookie Jayden Williams, a seventh-round pick from Mississippi, will take over as the starting left tackle. Johnson has been a key player for the Cardinals since 2019, having started in 47 games and being selected as the No. 6 overall draft pick out of Ohio State University in 2023.
