Arizona Cardinals Face Injury Challenges with Key Players

The Arizona Cardinals are facing significant injury challenges as they navigate the remainder of the season. Left tackle Paris Johnson Jr. is currently dealing with a sprained MCL and is considered week-to-week, according to NFL Network.

Johnson sustained the injury during the third quarter of the Cardinals' 45-17 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, and undrafted rookie Josh Fryar is expected to replace him in the lineup. Meanwhile, wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is also facing uncertainty as he deals with a heel issue that has kept him out of action since Week 13.

His return for Week 15 remains doubtful, impacting the Cardinals' passing attack. Head coach Jonathan Gannon has not provided an update on Harrison's status, but his absence has led to increased opportunities for teammate Michael Wilson, who has been performing well in Harrison's stead.

The situation is critical for the Cardinals as they look to adjust their offense without two key players, especially with their playoff hopes already dashed.
