Bears QB Caleb Williams is ‘week to week’ with hamstring injury, coach Ben Johnson says

TEMPE, Arizona (AP) — Arizona Cardinals starting cornerback Will Johnson might miss the rest of the regular season due to a neck injury he sustained against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Coach Mike LaFleur confirmed this during a Monday press conference, expressing his concern for Johnson and his teammates. It remains uncertain if the 2025 second-round pick from Michigan will require surgical intervention.

Johnson exited the game in the second half, but it's unclear when the injury occurred. The Seahawks went on to secure a convincing 31-7 win. Johnson was initially a starter in the first two games of the season and has since become a critical component of the Cardinals' defense, accumulating eight tackles, one interception, and a fumble recovery this season.

With Johnson's absence, veteran safety Starling Thomas is expected to see increased playing time. Cornerback Max Melton's status is uncertain, with LaFleur stating that he is currently "day to day" following a toe injury. The Cardinals are set to face the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday in a road game.
