Players typically played through illness-related questionable tags, but Froholdt was obviously added to the injury report very late. The Cardinals are already without left tackle Paris Johnson while left guard Evan Brown is listed as questionable with a neck injury. Arizona could be down three starting linemen for their matchup with Carolina if Brown and Froholdt both sit.

Froholdt entered the 2023 season with little experience at center but quickly established himself as the anchor of Arizona’s offensive line, which performed admirably down the stretch of the season. Froholdt played all 17 games last season, and 1,123 offensive snaps. A former Patriots draft pick who spent time with the Browns, Froholdt seems to have found a place in Arizona.

Froholdt is being signed for his versatility. He started games at right guard and center last season while manning left tackle for a few snaps. The 26-year-old will probably end up seeing plenty of playing time for the rebuilding Cardinals and their shaky offensive line. 

The rookie fourth-round pick will spend the entire 2019 season on IR. It remains to be seen what sort of issue Froholdt is dealing with.
