Cardinals designate OL Christian Jones to return from IR
Our Summary
The Arizona Cardinals have designated offensive lineman Christian Jones to return from injured reserve, allowing him to begin practicing. The team can activate him to the 53-player roster within the next 21 days. Jones, a 2024 fifth-round pick, will miss at least four games due to a knee injury sustained in the preseason opener. He began his rookie season on injured reserve with an ankle injury but started the season finale at right tackle following injuries to other players. Jones is anticipated to serve as a backup upon his return.
In addition, the Cardinals have signed running back Montrell Johnson Jr. to their practice squad. Johnson, a rookie, initially joined the NFL as a free agent with the Philadelphia Eagles after playing college football at Florida.
