Cardinals Lose Second‑Round Pick Chase Bisontis for Season After Torn MCL

The team placed Bisontis on injured reserve after MRI confirmed a surgically repaired MCL and surgery is scheduled next week.

Overview

  • Chase Bisontis went down in Thursday's preseason game when a Raiders player rolled up on his left knee and he was carted off without returning.
  • MRI results reported by NFL Network showed a torn medial collateral ligament in Bisontis' left knee with the ACL and meniscus intact.
  • Arizona placed Bisontis on injured reserve on Aug. 15, which, under current roster rules, ends his 2026 season.
  • Isaiah Adams and Isaac Seumalo are now the entrenched starting guards and the Cardinals are evaluating internal and external options to fill interior-line depth.
  • Bisontis is the latest highly drafted Cardinals rookie lost before the regular season, a pattern that raises concern about rookie availability and could force roster or depth moves this month.
