## Key points

- Michael Wilson’s neck fracture ends his season.
- Arizona has four other active-roster wide receivers.
- Gardner Minshew may also need season-ending surgery.

## Summary

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson will miss the rest of the season with a neck fracture, a major setback for a team already short of established receivers. He was injured during Sunday’s 17-3 loss to Seattle but continued playing; coach Mike LaFleur said the injury became clear after tests once the effects of the game had worn off.

Wilson, 26, was placed on injured reserve on Tuesday after signing a three-year, $75 million extension before the season. He had 51 catches for 546 yards and two touchdowns in nine games, following a 1,006-yard season in 2024. With Marvin Harrison Jr. traded and Wilson out, Arizona’s active roster has four other wide receivers; tight end Trey McBride, who leads the NFL with 73 receptions, may see more targets. Quarterback Gardner Minshew could also need season-ending elbow surgery, while rookie Carson Beck is the likely replacement if Minshew cannot play.
