The Cardinals also announced Wilson’s placement on IR with a neck injury. In addition to the roster move, Arizona reported that Wilson addressed the situation on social media after his season ended, posting a message of gratitude for the “journey.”
To prepare for Beck’s first NFL start, Arizona said it signed both veteran quarterback Josh Johnson and rookie quarterback Joey Aguilar to provide depth behind Beck for the Rams game.
