The Arizona Cardinals' injury situation has gotten even worse. Head coach Mike LaFleur announced Monday that receiver Michael Wilson suffered a fracture in his neck and is out for the remainder of the season.
LaFleur said the injury came on the fourth play of the game when he had a 17-yard catch. He felt a kink in his neck and played the rest of the game.
Now, according to ESPN's Josh Weinfuss, Wilson will need to use a neck brace for six weeks to two months.
He finished the game playing 44 of the team's 53 offensive snaps and caught six passes for 60 yards.
He finishes his 2026 season with 51 catches for 546 yards and two touchdowns in nine games.
His injury really puts the receiver room in a tough situation. The Cardinals traded Marvin Harrison
Jr. and have Jalen Brooks and Kendrick Bourne already on injured reserve, where Wilson will join them. Simi Fehoko, Devin Duvernay, and rookies Reggie Virgil and Harrison Wallace III are now the four receivers left on the active roster.
