Left tackle Paris Johnson Jr. (knee), inside linebacker Mack Wilson Sr. (concussion), outside linebacker Jesse Luketa (thigh) and backup running back Trey Benson (ankle) were listed as “out” on Friday by Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon.
The Cardinals later announced Luketa has been placed on injured reserve and that they had signed linebacker Milo Eifler.
Veteran Kelvin Beachum will step in for Johnson at left tackle and Jonah Williams will be at right tackle. Baron Browning is expected to replace Luketa as the starting edge rusher opposite Zaven Collins. Krys Barnes, meanwhile, is expected to get the primary snaps in place of Wilson alongside Kyzir White, who missed practice Thursday with an illness but should be in the lineup against the Panthers.
