Defensive line
Kevin Strong, 47; Dante Stills, 42, Leki Fotu, 40; Ben Stille 33; Roy Lopez, 27
This was more or less what you would like to see in terms of percentage of snaps. Stills had a fine game with six tackles and a sack.
Outside linebacker
Zaven Collins, 46; Dennis Gardeck, 38; Victor Dimukeje, 29; Cameron Thomas, 29; BJ Ojulari, 22
Collins had a sack. They didn’t get much from anyone else in the game.
Inside linebacker
Kyzir White, 82; Josh Woods, 68
Woods played for the first time since Week 1. Krys Barnes only played special teams for the second week in a row.
Cornerback
Marco Wilson, 82; Antonio Hamilton, 66; Kei’Trel Clark, 40
Hamilton left the game twice with injuries. He hurt his ankle and was checked for a concussion. He returned and finished the game. But with safety Jalen Thompson getting hurt, Hamilton also played in the slot, which was why Clark still played a lot. Hamilton replaced Clark in the starting lineup.
Safety
K’Von Wallace, 82; Andre Chachere, 79; Jalen Thompson, 35; Joey Blount, 5
Thompson got hurt, otherwise Chachere wouldn’t have gotten that many snaps. Blount would not have played at all.
