Gets first-team reps at tackle
The Cardinals' first-team offensive line at Tuesday's practice included Johnson at right tackle, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Arizona traded up and selected Johnson with the sixth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft and obviously has big expectations for him going forward. It was unclear whether the Cardinals would ease him into the swing of things or throw him into the fire right away by inserting him at right tackle opposite D.J. Humphries. Early indications at training camp suggest they are opting for the latter option.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could compete for left tackle job
Josh Weinfuss of ESPN believes Johnson will get an opportunity to compete for the starting left tackle job in camp.
ANALYSIS
Johnson was Arizona's starting right tackle as a rookie in 2023 while D.J. Humphries started at left tackle. Humphries tore his ACL in Week 17 and was subsequently released, but Arizona signed free-agent offensive tackle Jonah Williams to a two-year, $30 million contract. Despite Williams' hefty contract, Weinfuss thinks Johnson will have a chance to win the left tackle spot in camp, with Williams shifting to right tackle should Johnson slot in on Kyler Murray's blind side.
