Another hit for the Arizona Cardinals, folks, with left tackle Paris Johnson Jr. officially done for the 2026 season. Mike LaFleur confirmed the news, dropping a bombshell that Paris has a torn bicep, and just like that, their O-line situation goes from bad to worse.
Another Season Derailed For Johnson Jr.
This is a brutal blow for Johnson Jr. and the Cardinals. He’s out after playing only four games in 2026, which is just a wild stat for a guy they drafted to anchor their line. You gotta remember, he played 17 games, then 14, then 12 in his first three seasons. Each year, it seems like he’s sidelined for more and more time. He was picked way back in 2023, and the hope was he’d become that true franchise left tackle. But the truth is, he’s been “fine” at best, hasn’t hit the success level anyone hoped for, and frankly, he can’t stay healthy.
The Cardinals’ O-Line Is In Absolute Chaos
So, what now for Arizona? This injury, and his ongoing issues, mean the Cardinals are facing some seriously tough decisions heading into the 2027 offseason. Do they roll the dice and bring PJJ back, or do they finally look for a new left tackle? And here’s the kicker: even with all these injury woes and not living up to the hype, he’s *still* considered the best option they’ve got on the roster at left tackle, and it’s not even close. That tells you everything you need to know about the “massive questions” they have on that offensive line. It’s a full-blown disaster zone over there.
