Arizona Cardinals defensive tackle Jonathan Proctor's rookie season may be over before it even began. Coach Mike LaFleur suggested on Monday, June 23, 2026, that Proctor could be sidelined for the entirety of the 2026 season due to a knee injury.
Proctor, 22, officially signed his four-year rookie contract on Monday. This signing comes after he sustained a torn meniscus during organized team activities in early June. The injury necessitates an extended rehabilitation period.
Prior to this unfortunate setback, Proctor had been projected to compete for a reserve position on the defensive line. His absence represents a significant blow to the team's defensive depth for the upcoming season.
