Arizona Cardinals place CB Will Johnson on injured reserve, sign Star Thomas
Will Johnson's season might be over, and Star Thomas sets to play first game since 2024.
The Arizona Cardinals have placed cornerback Will Johnson on injured reserve following a neck injury he sustained during Sunday's 31-7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Head coach Mike LaFleur expressed concern during a Wednesday press conference, stating that the team is not prepared to bring Johnson back from injury. Instead, they have signed cornerback Star Thomas V from their practice squad to fill the void left by Johnson's absence.
Thomas, who has not played since 2024 due to a torn ACL, will join rookies Garrett Williams and Max Melton on the Cardinals' roster. Max Melton, who has a toe injury, did not practice on Wednesday, leaving the defense with Denzel Burke, Williams, Thomas, Kei Trel Clark and Kalen King to rely on.
