Quarterback
- Kyler Murray
- Trace McSorley
Nothing has changed here. It won’t until Colt McCoy comes back from his calf injury, which has him on injured reserve right now.
Running back
- James Conner
- Eno Benjamin or Darrel Williams
- Jonathan Ward
- Keaontay Ingram
This also has not changed, although we see how Eno and Williams are used. Williams is more a Conner replacement, while Benjamin is a complement like Chase Edmonds was when he was here.
Wide receiver
‘X’ receiver
- Rondale Moore
- Andy Isabella
‘Z’ receiver
- A.J. Green
Slot receiver
- Marquise Brown
- Greg Dortch
The only change that happened here was the removal of Andre Baccellia, who was released Tuesday.
Tight end
- Zach Ertz
- Maxx Williams
- Trey McBride
- Stephen Anderson
Anderson is listed at the back of the depth chart but McBride has only played one snap so far this season.
Offensive line
Left tackle
- D.J. Humphries
- Josh Jones
Left guard
- Justin Pugh
- Sean Harlow
Center
- Rodney Hudson
- Sean Harlow
- Lecitus Smith
Right guard
- Will Hernandez
- Max Garcia
Right tackle
- Kelvin Beachum
- Josh Jones
There is nothing changed over last week’s depth chart. Pugh’s return was huge for pass protection.
Defensive line
Defensive end
- J.J. Watt
- Michael Dogbe
Nose tackle
- Rashard Lawrence
- Leki Fotu
Defensive tackle
- Zach Allen
- Jonathan Ledbetter
This remains unchanged from last week. Ledbetter was inactive in Week 2. The Cardinals have had only five active defensive linemen for each of their first two games.
Outside linebacker
Strong side
- Markus Golden
- Devon Kennard
- Cameron Thomas
Weak side
- Dennis Gardeck
- Victor Dimukeje
- Myjai Sanders
This remain unchanged as well, although Kennard has now been signed to the active roster. Sanders has yet to be active for a game.
Inside linebacker
MIKE
- Zaven Collins
- Nick Vigil
- Ben Niemann
Mo or Star
- Isaiah Simmons
- Zeke Turner or Tanner Vallejo
Simmons was taken out of his main role in Week 2. We will see how his playing time changes. Collins played every snap in Week 2 and was the relayer of the defensive play calls.
Cornerback
One side
- Byron Murphy
- Trayvon Mullen
Other side
- Marco Wilson
- Christian Matthew
Jace Whittaker is on the practice squad but has gotten playing time instead of Matthew. It is believed that Mullen will get to make his Arizona debut this weekend.

- Deionte Thompson
No changes here.
