Cardinals' Will Johnson: Green light to play Week 17
Johnson (thumb/chest) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Johnson was limited in all three practices during Week 17 prep due to thumb and chest injuries, but the rookie second-rounder has been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. Johnson has logged 14 tackles (nine solo) and four pass defenses over his last four games.

Cardinals' Will Johnson: Tagged as questionable Week 17
Johnson (thumb/chest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Johnson was listed as a limited participant in all three practices due to chest and thumb injuries, and his status for Sunday's game may not be officially known until the Cardinals announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If the rookie second-rounder is ruled out, then Darren Hall or fellow rookie Denzel Burke would be slated to start in Johnson's stead.

Cardinals' Will Johnson: Pops up on injury report
Johnson (thumb) was a limited participant in Arizona's walkthrough Wednesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN reports.
Johnson popped up on the injury report Wednesday due to a thumb injury he seemingly suffered during the Week 16 loss to the Falcons. The rookie second-round pick could be in danger of missing his sixth game of the season should he be unable to suit up for Sunday's matchup versus the Bengals.

Cardinals' Will Johnson: Good to go
Johnson (back) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Johnson was a limited participant Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to a full participant Friday. The upgrade means the cornerback is good to go for Sunday, and he will either join or replace Denzel Burke as a starting outside cornerback, depending on the health of Max Melton (heel).

Cardinals' Will Johnson: Limited to open week
Johnson (back) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
The rookie second-rounder has missed the Cardinals' last three games due to a back injury. He was able to return to practice during Week 12 prep, and he'll have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. Fellow rookie Denzel Burke has started at outside cornerback in Johnson's absence.

Cardinals' Will Johnson: Won't play Week 12
Johnson (back) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Johnson gave himself a chance to play in Week 12 after ending the week with back-to-back limited practices, but his back injury is severe enough for him to miss a third consecutive game. Fellow rookie Denzel Burke should remain as the second starting outside corner opposite Max Melton in Johnson's absence. Johnson's next opportunity to play is Week 13 against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Nov. 30.

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.

Johnson (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Cowboys.
Johnson was a limited participant in Friday's practice after playing through his groin injury before the Week 8 bye. Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic said head coach Jonathan Gannon made it sound as if Johnson had a good chance to play Monday.
