Week 9 of the NFL is getting ready for kickoff in Munich, Germany, but the Cleveland Browns and Arizona Cardinals are set for kickoff later this afternoon in Northeast Ohio. The Browns will be starting Deshaun Watson at quarterback, and the Cardinals will be starting rookie fifth round pick Clayton Tune. And life just got harder on the rookie quarterback as the Cardinals are expected to be without starting wide receiver Michael Wilson (according to Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz).
Wilson, a third round pick out of Stanford this past April, has already racked up 401 yards and two touchdowns on 25 catches this season for the Cardinals. He is the second leading receiver on the team behind former first round pick Marquise Brown.
Behind Brown now, the Cardinals are now left with Rondale Moore, Greg Dortch, and Zach Pascal at the wide receiver position. This is a tall task when going against Denzel Ward and Martin Emerson Jr.

Wilson already has 25/401/2 this season and his 16 YPC rank in the top 10 of all NFL wide receivers. He should be back next week. @BleacherReport pic.twitter.com/8XTCU934n1
