Arizona Cardinals cornerback Will Johnson could be sidelined for the rest of the season after sustaining a neck injury in the team’s loss to Seattle. Head coach Mike LaFleur said the second-year player may not return this season, telling reporters, "He could potentially miss the whole season."

Johnson started 10 of 12 games as a rookie in 2025. He finished that season with 37 tackles, 10 passes defended and one forced fumble.

The injury could affect a Cardinals secondary already dealing with injuries and limited experience, according to the report. Other defensive backs may be asked to take on larger responsibilities sooner than expected.

Further details about Johnson’s injury and his recovery timeline were not provided. Source: [sports.yahoo.com](https://sports.yahoo.com/).
