Quarterback
- Josh Dobbs
- Clayton Tune
Nothing has changed here.
Running back
- James Conner
- Keaontay Ingram
- Emari Demercado
Nothing new here, although Ingram didn’t play on Sunday, which meant a bigger role for Demercado.
Wide receiver
‘X’
- Marquise Brown
‘Z’
- Michael Wilson
- Zach Pascal
Slot
- Rondale Moore
- Greg Dortch
Nothing has changed here, either.
Tight end
- Zach Ertz
- Trey McBride
- Geoff Swaim
- Elijah Higgins
Nothing has changed here, either.
Offensive line
Left tackle
- D.J. Humphries
- Carter O’Donnell
Left guard
- Elijah Wilkinson
- Trystan Colon
Center
- Hjalte Froholdt
- Trystan Colon
Right guard
- WIll Hernandez
- Keith Ismael
Right tackle
- Paris Johnson
- Kelvin Beachum
The one change here is the absence of Ilm Manning, who was released Monday. Colon, who has played left guard and center now this year, is the backup for both spots.
Dennis Daley has been designated to return from injured reserve, so he could be activated this week and would likely be the backup left guard.
Defensive line
LDE
- Kevin Strong
- Dante Stills
NT
- Leki Fotu
- Roy Lopez
RDE
- Jonathan Ledbetter
This is the same as last week.
Outside linebacker
Strong side
- Zaven Collins
- Cameron Thomas
- BJ Ojulari
Weak side
- Dennis Gardeck
- Victor Dimukeje
- Jesse Luketa
Nothing has happened yet here. When Myjai Sanders returns at some point, we will see what happens.
Inside linebacker
Mike
- Kyzir White
- Krys Barnes
Other position
- Josh Woods
- Zeke Turner
- Owen Pappoe
This remains unchanged, although they have had three different starters alongside White in four weeks. Woods started Week 1 but missed the next three with an ankle injury. Barnes started two and injured his finger. Turner started against the 49ers.
Cornerback
One side
- Kei’Trel Clark
- Antonio Hamilton
Other side
- Marco Wilson
- Starling Thomas
The Cardinals released Kris Boyd and Christian Matthew on Monday. Rookie Garrett Williams was designated to return from NFI and could be activated for Week 5. Thomas has not been active this season.
Safety
Free safety
- Jalen Thompson
- Joey Blount
- Qwuantrezz Knight
Strong safety
- K’Von Wallace
- Andre Chachere
Blount is a new addition, getting signed from the practice squad this week. He slides in ahead of Knight. He might be the Cardinals’ special teams replacement for Boyd, a cornerback.
Specialists
Kicker
- Matt Prater
Punter/holder
- Blake Gillikin
Long snapper
- Aaron Brewer
Punt/kick returner
- Greg Dortch
The change here is Gillikin, signed on Tuesday. Nolan Cooney was released.
