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.
