The Arizona Cardinals face the Washington Commanders in Week 4. They have ruled out tight end Trey McBride and defensive lineman Khyiris Tonga. They elevated tackle Charlie Heck and defensive lineman Angelo Blackson.
With that information, let’s look at what the depth chart will look like as they play Sunday afternoon.
Quarterback
- Kyler Murray
- Clayton Tune
This is obvious.
Running back
- James Conner
- Trey Benson
- Emari Demercado

Nothing changes here. Benson is No. 2 as a running back but Demercado is the team’s third-down back and passing-down back.
Wide receiver
‘X’ receiver
- Marvin Harrison Jr.
- Chris Moore

- Michael Wilson
- Zach Pascal
Slot receiver
- Greg Dortch
- Xavier Weaver
Weaver hasn’t been active for a game yet.
Tight end
- Elijah Higgins
- Tip Reiman
- Travis Vokolek
McBride won’t play, so everyone moves up a slot. Vokolek will be active for the first time this season.
Offensive line
Left tackle
- Paris Johnson
- Charlie Heck
Left guard
- Evan Brown
- Isaiah Adams
Center
- Hjalte Froholdt
- Jon Gaines II
