Arizona Cardinals left tackle Paris Johnson Jr. is considered week-to-week while dealing with a sprained MCL, NFL Network reported on Tuesday.

Johnson, who is leading his position in the voting for the Pro Bowl, sustained the injury during the third quarter of Arizona's 45-17 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.

Undrafted rookie Josh Fryar replaced Johnson in that game and likely would do so again this Sunday when the Cardinals (3-10) visit the Houston Texans (8-5).

Johnson, 24, has started all 12 games in which he has played this season and all 43 in his career since being selected by Arizona with the sixth overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Ohio State.
