Williams suffered an Achilles injury in the first quarter of Sunday&#8217;s loss to the Atlanta Falcons, and Nolen hurt his left knee in the third quarter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Gannon said more information on their injuries &#8212; including whether Williams tore his Achilles and if Nolen would need surgery &#8212; would be available after more testing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Williams sat out five games earlier this season because of a knee injury.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Nolen, Arizona&#8217;s 2025 first-round pick at No. 16, sat out the first seven games while on the PUP list and then sat out two more games because of a knee injury, limiting his rookie total to only six games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">&#8220;You feel bad for the guy because I know he didn&#8217;t see this year going like it did,&#8221; Gannon said of Nolen. &#8220;I know he&#8217;s got goals because he wasn&#8217;t out there, wasn&#8217;t able to achieve. But he has shown the ability to be a difference-maker on our defense and impact the game in the run and pass game and will be a huge piece of us moving forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TEMPE, Ariz. &#8212; The Arizona Cardinals lost two defenders in cornerback Garrett Williams and rookie defensive lineman Walter&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":362795,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[100980,49,48,155887,514,82,155888],"class_list":["post-362794","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-arizona-cardinals-sports-football-team-team-statscom-355","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-garrett-williams-sports-football-player-player-statscom-1176818","tag-nfl","tag-sports","tag-walter-nolen-iii-sports-football-player-player-statscom-1402783"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/362794","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=362794"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/362794\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/362795"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=362794"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=362794"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=362794"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
