Behind Wills, the Left Tackle Depth Chart Is Essentially a Blank Page

I've now written three pieces on this situation in as many days, so I'll keep it short: the Cardinals have Jedrick Wills at left tackle and not much else that's been tested. The depth chart lists Austin Deculus and Demontrey Jacobs behind him at tackle, but neither has logged meaningful snaps this season. That's the whole answer to the question I raised on Thursday.

Paris Johnson Jr. going on injured reserve with a biceps tear was the kind of loss that exposes what's underneath, and what's underneath here is thin. Isaiah Adams remains out entirely, which compounds things — the offensive line was already navigating a preseason MCL tear to Chase Bisontis and Adams' unresolved legal situation before Johnson got hurt. Froholdt is active and anchoring center, which helps. But the tackle depth is a real concern, not a theoretical one.

My read: if Wills stays healthy, Arizona manages. If he doesn't, this team has no reliable fallback at the position that matters most for protecting the quarterback. That's been true since Johnson went down, and three pieces later, nothing in the roster has changed it.
