Cardinals activate OT Paris Johnson Jr. from PUP list

The Arizona Cardinals announced Saturday that offensive tackle Paris Johnson Jr. has been activated off the physically unable to perform (PUP) list. 

Johnson was among four players who opened training camp Thursday on the PUP list. The others were outside linebacker Josh Sweat, cornerback Garrett Williams and tight end Tip Reiman.

Head coach Mike LaFleur said Thursday he didn’t think Johnson’s stint on the PUP list would be a long one and that it was just “maintenance stuff.”

Johnson has played 43 games over his first three NFL seasons, appearing in nearly all offensive snaps in the games he’s out there.

Johnson is set to begin his fourth season in Arizona as he seeks a contract extension. The Cardinals picked up the fifth-year option on his contract in the offseason, keeping him in Arizona through the 2027 season.
