The MCL tear **[Chase Bisontis](https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/chase-bistonis-1.html?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.profootballrumors.com&utm_campaign=2026-08-15_cfb)** [sustained Thursday](https://www.profootballrumors.com/2026/08/cardinals-g-chase-bisontis-facing-lengthy-absence) will indeed knock the second-round rookie out for the season. The Cardinals placed Bisontis on IR today, per a team announcement.
Because Arizona took this route with IR and did not wait until after this month’s roster-setting deadline, Bisontis is out for the season. Had the Cards carried Bisontis on their roster through August 30 before placing him on IR after that point, he would have been eligible to return. But the rookie guard’s earliest debut point will be Week 1 of the 2027 season after this transaction.
