Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson will miss the remainder of the 2026 NFL season after suffering a neck fracture. The injury occurred on the fourth play of the Cardinals' Week 9 game against the Seattle Seahawks, though Wilson continued to play through the contest. Head coach Mike LaFleur announced the season-ending diagnosis on Monday following medical tests. Wilson's absence further thins a Cardinals receiving corps that has already lost Marvin Harrison Jr. to a trade and both Kendrick Bourne and Jalen Brooks to season-ending injuries.
