Quarterback

Rob Schumacher-Arizona Republic

Murray did not leave the field offensively, which is good. He did not take every snap, as they had at least once direct snap to James Conner.

Running back

Rob Schumacher-Arizona Republic

James Conner, 75; Eno Benjamin, 3; Jonathan Ward, 3

The Cardinals had two backs on the field for three snaps. They used Conner almost exclusively on Monday.

Wide receiver

Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports

DeAndre Hopkins, 68; Christian Kirk, 58; A.J. Green, 56; Rondale Moore, 34; Antoine Wesley, 7

Wesley had to come in the game in the final minute after Hopkins was shaken up in the end zone. They used lots of three-wide sets.

Tight end

Rob Schumacher-Arizona Republic

Zach Ertz, 65; Demetrius Harris, 17; Darrell Daniels, 4

Ertz was on the field a lot. Since acquiring him, they do not change personnel on the field that much. They run mostly three receivers and a tight end.

Offensive line

Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports

D.J. Humphries, 78; Sean Harlow, 78; Rodney Hudson, 78; Max Garcia, 78; Kelvin Beachum, 78

This week, the Cardinals did not use any tackle eligibles. No one subbed out on the offensive line. It was interesting that Harlow played at left guard and Justin Pugh was active. Pugh only played on special teams.
