Cardinals' Will Johnson: Questionable for Week 12
Johnson (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Johnson ended the week with back-to-back limited practices, giving him a chance to return Sunday from a two-game absence due to a back injury. The rookie second-rounder's return would likely mean that fellow first-year corner Denzel Burke would revert to a rotational role in the secondary, though the latter could still see an increased snap count on defense if Garrett Williams (ankle) is unable to play in Week 12. Prior to his injury, Johnson posted 19 tackles (14 solo), six pass defenses and one forced fumble across six regular-season games.

Cardinals' Will Johnson: Limited Thursday
Johnson (back) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
The cornerback managed to return to the field after missing Wednesday's session and the last two games. Johnson now appears to have a chance to suit up in Sunday's game against the Jaguars. He's played on at least 60 percent of the defensive snaps in all six games he's played in this season.

Cardinals' Will Johnson: Still sidelined by back injury
Johnson (back) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Johnson has missed the Cardinals' last two games due to a back injury, which has also prevented him from participating in practice. He has two more chances to practice in at least a limited capacity this week, and doing so would give him a chance to play against the Jaguars on Sunday. Rookie fifth-rounder Denzel Burke has stepped into a more prominent role in the secondary in Johnson's absence.

Cardinals' Will Johnson: Won't play vs. 49ers
Johnson (back) is officially listed as out for Sunday's game versus San Francisco, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Johnson will be sidelined for a second straight week because of a lingering back injury. His absence will leave the door open for Arizona corners further down on the depth chart to see additional snaps, perhaps most notably rookie fifth-rounder Denzel Burke.

Cardinals' Will Johnson: Doesn't practice Thursday
Johnson (back) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
A back injury prevented Johnson from playing against the Seahawks in Week 10, and he's opened Week 11 prep with back-to-back DNPs. The rookie second-rounder would need to practice Friday in at least a limited capacity in order to have a realistic chance of playing Sunday against the 49ers.

Cardinals' Will Johnson: Still sidelined
Johnson (back) was estimated to have not practiced Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Johnson was sidelined for Week 10 with the same injury. It's not a good sign that he couldn't return to practice in any capacity to begin a new week, though he still has two days to improve his outlook for a Week 11 matchup against the 49ers.

Cardinals' Will Johnson: Out for Week 10
Johnson (back) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
The rookie corner from Michigan downgraded from a limited practice estimation Wednesday to a DNP on Thursday, so it's no surprise that he won't play in Week 10. Johnson has had an impressive start to his NFL career, recording 19 total tackles and six passes defended across six contests. Now that he's set to miss his third game this season Sunday, expect Elijah Jones to start at boundary corner.

Cardinals' Will Johnson: Sits out of practice Thursday
Johnson (back) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
The cornerback was estimated to be a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough. Johnson is trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks. The starter has played on a majority of the defensive snaps in every game he's suited up for this season, though he did miss two early on with a groin injury.

Cardinals' Will Johnson: Estimated as limited
Johnson (back) was estimated to be a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official website reports.
Johnson popped up on the injury report with a back issue at the team's first practice of the week. Considering he was estimated to be able to participate in any capacity, the injury is likely of the minor variety. The cornerback will have two more shots at logging a full practice prior to Sunday's contest against the Seahawks.

Cardinals' Will Johnson: Will play Week 9
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: Questionable to face Cowboys
Johnson (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Cowboys.

Cardinals' Will Johnson: Dealing with groin injury
Johnson (groin) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
The rookie second-rounder was able to play through a groin injury prior to the Week 8 bye, so it's unclear whether his limitations during Friday's practice were due to a setback or for maintenance purposes. Johnson's participation in Saturday's practice will provide more clarity on his status heading into Monday night's game against the Cowboys.

Cardinals' Will Johnson: Good to go against Indianapolis
Johnson (groin) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Colts, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Johnson was a full participant in Friday's practice, which was enough to clear to him to play in Sunday's road tilt. He played through the injury during the Cardinals' Week 5 loss to the Titans, when he played 55 defensive snaps and logged three solo tackles.

Cardinals' Will Johnson: Still nursing groin issue
Johnson (groin) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Johnson played through the groin injury in Week 5 versus the Titans, but it still appears to be hampering him as Arizona begins a new week of practice. He'll get two more opportunities to practice in full before the Cardinals release their final practice report of the week Friday.

Cardinals' Will Johnson: Trending toward Week 5 return
Johnson (groin) is likely to play against the Titans on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The second-round rookie missed the Cardinals' last two games due to a groin injury that he suffered against the Panthers in Week 2. Johnson was able to practice in a limited capacity this past week, but he appears on track to play in Sunday's home game against Tennessee. His return would be timely, given that the Cardinals could be without fellow cornerbacks Max Melton (hamstring) and Denzel Burke (knee).

Cardinals' Will Johnson: Draws questionable tag for Week 5
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.

Johnson (groin) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Johnson has missed the Cardinals' past two contests, but a limited start to the practice week would seem to put the rookie cornerback in position to return this Sunday against the Titans. Kei'Trel Clark has been filling in at cornerback during Johnson's absence.

Cardinals' Will Johnson: Won't play Thursday
Johnson (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Seahawks, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Johnson will miss a second consecutive game due to a groin injury that he suffered during the Cardinals' Week 2 win over the Panthers. Kei'Trel Clark should continue to see additional work in the Cardinals' secondary for as long as Johnson is sidelined. Johnson's next opportunity to play is Week 5 against the Titans on Sunday, Oct. 5.
