The Cardinals officially won’t have their starting offensive tackles for their last two games.
Arizona has placed left tackle Paris Johnson Jr. and right tackle Jonah Williams on injured reserve.
Both players are dealing with a knee injury, with head coach Jonathan Gannon noting earlier on Tuesday that they would not play against the Rams on Saturday.
Arizona is expected to play Jackson Barton at right tackle and Kelvin Beachum at left tackle. Barton was signed to the 53-man roster from the practice squad.
“It’s unfortunate to have two starting tackles out,” quarterback Kyler Murray said, via Zach Gershman of the team’s website. “But I’ve got confidence in Beach, Jackson, or whoever else is in there. They’ve had plenty of reps, veteran guys, I have confidence in them.”
The Cardinals also signed outside linebacker Benton Whitley to the 53-man roster off of the Giants’ practice squad.
