Quarterback
- Kyler Murray
- Trace McSorley
Colt McCoy injured his calf last week and was placed on injured reserve. McSorley was signed from the practice squad and is Murray’s backup.
Running back
- James Conner
- Eno Benjamin or Darrel Williams
- Jonathan Ward
- Keaontay Ingram
Benjamin and Williams are both co-No. 2 running back, but Williams did not get any offensive snaps on Sunday, so Benjamin is truly the backup. That doesn’t mean it won’t be a game-to-game affair as to who spells Conner, though.
Wide receiver
‘X’ receiver
- Rondale Moore
- Andy Isabella
‘Z’ receiver
- A.J. Green
- Andre Baccellia
Slot receiver
- Marquise Brown
- Greg Dortch
With Moore hurt, Dortch played a lot but it appears that Brown got the majority of the snaps at the ‘X’. Baccellia was signed to the 53-man roster at the end of last week.
Tight end
- Zach Ertz
- Maxx Williams
- Trey McBride
- Stephen Anderson
McBride might be listed ahead of Anderson, but Anderson was active over McBride in the season opener.
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
Cody Ford’s ankle injury changed things around. Harlow now is the backup at left guard as well as at center, and he started in Pugh’s place on Sunday. Garcia was re-signed from the Giants’ practice squad and is the backup at right guard now.
Defensive line
Defensive end
- J.J. Watt
- Michael Dogbe
Nose tackle
- Rashard Lawrence
- Leki Fotu

This is the same as it was last week, although the Cardinals had to play without Watt.
Outside linebacker
Strong side:
- Markus Golden
- Devon Kennard
- Cameron Thomas
Weak side:
- Dennis Gardeck

This is the same as it was last week. Kennard actually played the most on Sunday and Sanders was inactive.

MIKE
- Zaven Collins
- Nick Vigil
- Ben Niemann

- Isaiah Simmons
- Zeke Turner or Tanner Vallejo
This is also how it was last week.

Javelin Guidry was released, so now there are only four in the room.

Nothing changes here.
