The Arizona Cardinals have made a few moves in the starting lineup this season. Rookie cornerback Kei’Trel Clark was benched earlier this season. Before he got hurt, left guard Elijah Wilkinson was benched in favor of Trystan Colon. Offensive lineman Dennis Daley isn’t active on game days recently.
The latest to see their spot in the playing rotation disappear were cornerback Marco Wilson and running back Keaontay Ingram.
Wilson, who started the first 11 games of the season, not only was not a starter on Sunday in the Cardinals’ 37-14 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, he did not log a single snap on defense. Instead, three rookies — Clark, Garrett Williams and Starling Thomas — were in the starting lineup.
And when Thomas injured his ankle and was not able to return, Marco was not the Wilson to replace him. Instead, it was practice squader Divaad Wilson, who was elevated on Saturday for the game.
Ingram was not even active with the return of Emari Demercado. He has fallen behind Demercado and newly added Michael Carter.
Where do both currently stand?
“They’ll both be battling to play,” said head coach Jonathan Gannon after the game.
