Cardinals' Paris Johnson: Contract option picked up
The Cardinals have picked up their fifth-year option on Johnson's contract, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Per the report, the option calls for just over $19 million for the 2027 season, though it's possible that the Cardinals and the offensive tackle could reach an agreement on an extension before then. The No. 6 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft finished up the 2025 regular season on IR due to a knee issue, but has since had ample time to recover, which puts Johnson on track to be healthy the next time Arizona takes the field.

Cardinals' Paris Johnson: Progressing in recovery
Johnson told reporters Monday that his knee injury will be fine "in a couple of weeks" and shouldn't impact his offseason training, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
The third-year pro landed on injured reserve in late December after suffering an MCL injury during the Cardinals' Week 14 loss to the Rams. He started in 12 games prior to his injury and should be fully healthy for the start of training camp in July.

Cardinals' Paris Johnson: Out for Sunday
Johnson (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bengals, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
The third-year pro from Ohio State didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday and is now in line to miss his third consecutive game due to a sprained MCL. While Johnson remains sidelined Sunday, expect Josh Fryar to start at left tackle.

Cardinals' Paris Johnson: Doesn't practice in Wednesday's walkthrough
Johnson (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's walkthrough, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
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 returns 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.
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.

Cardinals' Paris Johnson: Week-to-week with knee issue
Johnson (knee) has been diagnosed with a sprained MCL and is expected to miss some time, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
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).

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.
