Cardinals lose Michael Wilson (neck) for season

NBC Sports • • sports

Key Points:

  • Cardinals WR Michael Wilson suffered a season-ending neck injury in Week 9 against the Seahawks, a significant blow after signing a three-year, $75 million extension and being a key offensive target this season.
  • The Cardinals now face a depleted receiving corps with Wilson, Kendrick Bourne (leg), and Marvin Harrison Jr. (traded) out, likely relying on Harrison Wallace III, Reggie Virgil, and Simi Fehoko for the remainder of the season.
  • Cardinals QB Gardner Minshew may have a torn UCL from Week 9, potentially sidelining him for Week 10 and putting rookie Carson Beck in line to start amid a challenging stretch for the team's offense.
  • Rams WR Puka Nacua is expected to be placed on injured reserve due to a sprained MCL and PCL along with turf toe, posing a major challenge for the Rams’ passing game and increasing the likelihood of trade activity to bolster their receiving options.
  • The Jaguars bolstered their defense by acquiring Eagles DT Jordan Davis in a trade for future draft picks, aiming to strengthen an already top-10 defensive unit ahead of the NFL trade deadline.
