Johnson (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson has missed the Cardinals' last two games due to an ankle injury. He hasn't been able to practice since sustaining the injury, and he would be a long shot to play against the Bengals on Sunday unless he were to return to practice by Friday. Josh Fryar should remain the starter at left tackle for as long as Johnson is sidelined.

Johnson (knee) has been ruled out for Arizona's matchup versus the Texans on Sunday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson is considered week-to-week after being diagnosed with a sprained MCL earlier in the week. In his absence, Josh Fryar will likely start at right tackle during Sunday's game. Johnson's next chance to play will be the Week 16 matchup versus the Falcons.

Johnson (knee) has been diagnosed with a sprained MCL and is expected to miss some time, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Paris is the current leader in Pro Bowl votes for offensive tackles, and the loss of the stellar left guard does not bode well for the Cardinals' offense as they head to face the Texans on the road in Week 15. Josh Fryar will likely start alongside fellow backup tackle Kelvin Beachum due to the absence of starter Jonah Williams (shoulder) as well. Jacoby Brissett will have to have the ball out fast against a formidable Texans defense that allows the fewest points per game in the NFL (16.0).

Johnson (knee) is active for Thursday Night Football against the Seahawks, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The left tackle missed Arizona's Week 3 loss with the knee issue and was listed as limited on all three practice reports this week. Johnson started the first two games of the season and should regain that role Thursday night. The 2023 first-round pick has started all 33 games he's played in during his career.

Johnson (knee) is expected to play Thursday against the Seahawks, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson missed the final three games of last season due to a knee injury and then sat out the Cardinals' Week 3 loss at San Francisco with a knee issue. After being listed as limited on all three Week 4 practice reports, he's slated to be back in action Thursday and likely will retake the starting left tackle job from Kelvin Beachum.
