Before the inactives for the Arizona Cardinals against the New Orleans Saints dropped, two key players for both sides were ruled out, according to a report.
Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Johnson will not play Sunday due to an ankle injury. In addition to missing Sunday’s game, Johnson is also expected to miss Thursday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers.
Additionally, Schefter reported that Saints RB Alvin Kamara would not play either.
Kamara was listed as questionable on the final injury report. He’s expected to come back after New Orlean’s bye week next week.
