Cardinals Place CB Garrett Williams, DL L.J. Collier on IR After Week 2 Injuries

Under IR rules they must miss at least four games, shifting snaps to inexperienced reserves ahead of Sunday in San Francisco.

Overview

  • Coach Jonathan Gannon said both players have a chance to return later this season after knee injuries sustained against Carolina.
  • Starting cornerbacks Max Melton (knee) and Will Johnson (groin) are day-to-day, with Melton practicing Wednesday and Johnson sitting out.
  • Arizona promoted cornerback Darren Hall to the active roster and signed Ekow Boye-Doe and defensive lineman Zach Carter to the practice squad, releasing linebacker Elliott Brown.
  • Collier’s setback further thins a defensive line already missing Walter Nolen, Justin Jones and Bilal Nichols.
  • Rookie Denzel Burke played more than 60 snaps after Melton exited and earned praise from coaches as a candidate for an expanded role versus the 49ers.
