Johnson (groin) is active for Monday's game against the Cowboys, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
The rookie second-rounder missed two games earlier in the season due to a groin injury, but he was able to play through the issue in the two contests prior to the Week 8 bye. The injury limited Johnson's practice participation Friday and Saturday, but he has been cleared to suit up Week 9 after going through pregame warmups.

Cardinals' Will Johnson: Draws questionable tag for Week 5
Rotowire
Johnson (groin) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Johnson has been sidelined for the Cardinals' last two games due to a groin injury that he sustained in Week 2 against the Panthers. The rookie second-rounder has been limited in practice all week, and Johnson's status for Sunday's game may not be known until the Cardinals announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Kei'Trel Clark would continue to fill in at cornerback if Johnson is not cleared to return.

Cardinals' Will Johnson: Expected to be ready for camp
Rotowire
Johnson is dealing with a hamstring issue but should be ready for the start of training camp, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Arizona coach Jonathan Gannon described Johnson's issue as "a little bit of a tight hamstring," per Drake. The 2025 second-round pick missed the last six games of his collegiate career due to a foot injury and likely fell out of the first round in the draft due to a potential knee issue, so injuries remain a concern. At the same time, Johnson led a strong Michigan secondary in college and picked off nine passes during his career, returning three for scores, so he's expected to play a starting role for the Cardinals if healthy.
