Cardinals rookie OL Chase Bisontis tears MCL

Cardinals second-round offensive guard Chase Bisontis will miss most, or possibly all, of his rookie season.

NFL Media reports that an MRI revealed a torn MCL for Bisontis, which will require surgery.

The Cardinals listed Bisontis as the second-team right guard, but he was competing with Isaiah Adams for the starting job.

A Raiders defensive lineman fell into the side of Bisontis’ left knee in the third quarter on Thursday night, and he was carted to the training room.

The Cardinals have not had good luck with rookie offensive linemen in the preseason.

Last year, sixth-round pick Hayden Conner missed most of the regular season after he was injured in the preseason. In 2024, fifth-round pick Christian Jones missed most of the regular season after he was injured in the preseason. In 2023, fourth-round pick Jon Gaines missed his entire rookie season with a preseason injury.
