Yikes, talk about a brutal gut punch before the season even really kicks off! The Arizona Cardinals just got hit with a double dose of bad news, losing two more starters right before their preseason finale. This isn’t just a minor setback, we’re talking about key guys dropping out during a joint practice with the Green Bay Packers.
Isaiah Adams’ Knee Is a Real Head-Scratcher
First up, right guard Isaiah Adams didn’t even make the trip to Green Bay. Coach Mike LaFleur said Adams has “a little bit of a knee” and is “day-to-day,” but you gotta wonder when a guy doesn’t travel with the squad at all. He wasn’t on the field Monday either, with Jon Gaines filling in at right guard. Day-to-day sounds good, but not traveling? That’s definitely raising some eyebrows.
Will Johnson’s Unknown Status Just Shakes Up the CB Battle
Then there’s cornerback Will Johnson, who also sat out Wednesday’s practice. His injury is totally unknown, which always leaves you guessing. His absence meant Max Melton and Denzel Burke, who are both battling for that starting spot opposite Johnson, got to be on the field at the same time. That battle just got a whole lot more intense, whether they like it or not.
With the season opener just a little more than two weeks away, the Cardinals are gonna need both of these guys back on the field, and fast. What a way to head into the regular season, huh? Hope they get healthy ASAP, because that’s a tough look so early in the year.
