The Arizona Cardinals will be without two offensive lineman, Paris Johnson and Jonah Williams, for their primetime Saturday matchup with the Los Angeles Rams, coach Jonathan Gannon announced Tuesday.
With two starting tackles now out, Jackson Barton is expected to be elevated alongside Kelvin Beachum. Barton, who was elevated before last week’s 36-30 overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers, saw 30 snaps and allowed three quarterback pressures, per PFF.
Rookie offensive lineman Christian Jones may also be in line for his NFL debut.
