Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson will miss the rest of the season with a fracture in his neck, coach Mike LaFleur said Monday. Wilson was hurt on the fourth play of Sunday’s 17-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks and played through the injury.

Wilson finished the game with a game-high 60 yards on six catches, according to USA Today. He was hurt early in the game and stayed on the field for the rest of it.

A third-round pick in the 2023 draft, Wilson broke out last season with 78 catches for 1,006 yards and seven touchdowns. He signed a three-year, $75 million contract extension before this season. In 2026, he has 51 catches for 546 yards and two touchdowns.

The Cardinals traded Marvin Harrison Jr. to the Houston Texans in October, and Wilson’s injury leaves the team short at the position for the rest of the season. Simi Fehoko, Reggie Virgil, Devin Duvernay and Harrison Wallace III are the receivers left on the roster. Kendrick Bourne and Jalen Brooks are on injured reserve.
