Updated Cardinals depth chart for Week 8

The Arizona Cardinals face the Baltimore Ravens at home on Sunday in Week 8 and have had a few changes to the depth chart. Some are the result of roster moves, while others are simply players moving past others and earning playing time.

Below, check out the updated depth chart entering Week 8

Quarterback

  • Josh Dobbs
  • Clayton Tune

This has not changed and will not change until Kyler Murray is activated from PUP.

Running back

  • Emari Demercado
  • Keaontay Ingram

This is new. Ingram had been ahead of Demercado all season until, in Seattle, Demercado started at running back and Ingram played only special teams.

Wide receiver

Arizona Cardinals receiver Marquise Brown (2) tries to get past Cincinnati Bengals safety Jordan Battle (27) at State Farm Stadium in Glendale on Oct. 8, 2023.

‘X’

  • Marquise Brown

‘Z’

  • Michael Wilson
  • Zach Pascal

Slot

  • Rondale Moore
  • Greg Dortch

Nothing has changed here.

Tight end

Alex Gallardo-USA TODAY Sports
  • Trey McBride
  • Geoff Swaim
  • Elijah Higgins
  • Blake Whiteheart

Zach Ertz landed on injured reserve, which means McBride is now the starter and Whiteheart gets signed from the practice squad.

Offensive line

Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports

Left tackle

  • D.J. Humphries
  • Carter O’Donnell

Left guard

  • Elijah Wilkinson
  • Dennis Daley

Center

  • Hjalte Froholdt
  • Trystan Colon

Right guard

  • Will Hernandez
  • Keith Ismael

Right tackle

  • Paris Johnson
  • Kelvin Beachum

This looks the same as last week, but with Wilkinson out last week, Colon, not Daley, got the start. And it appears, based on comments by head coach Jonathan Gannon, Colon worked all week as the starting left guard.

There is nothing new here.

Outside linebacker

Strong side

  • Zaven Collins
  • Cameron Thomas
  • BJ Ojulari

One side

  • Marco Wilson
  • Antonio Hamilton

Other side

  • Starling Thomas
  • Kei’Trel Clark
  • Garrett Williams

We have changes!

Thomas moved ahead of Clark, who did not play on Sunday but was healthy. Williams is listed at the back of the depth chart but was the Cardinals’ nickelback, playing in the slot against the Seahawks.

Safety

Strong safety

  • Budda Baker
  • Joey Blount

Free safety

  • Jalen Thompson
  • Andre Chachere
  • Qwuantrezz Knight

The Cardinals cut K’Von Wallace, which was a surprise. Baker returns to the top of the depth chart now that he has come off injured reserve.
