Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson will miss the rest of the season with a fracture in his neck, head coach Mike LaFleur announced Monday.

Wilson suffered the injury on the fourth play of Arizona's 17-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday but played through it. Wilson ultimately led the team in routes run (31) and receiving yards (60) against Seattle.

The 26-year-old Wilson is second on the Cardinals with 51 receptions for 546 yards and two touchdowns, and he averaged 10.7 yards per catch.

Wilson signed a three-year, $75-million extension in September and is under contract through the 2029 season.

The Stanford product enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2025. He recorded 1,006 yards on 78 receptions for seven touchdowns last season.

The status of quarterback Gardner Minshew is also up in the air. He's undergoing tests on his right elbow after he took a hit toward the end of the first half, according to team reporter Darren Urban.
