Dadrion Taylor-Demerson made his first NFL start for the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, stepping in for the injured Jalen Thompson. The rookie safety, known as Rabbit, played all 58 defensive snaps against the New York Jets. Coach Jonathan Gannon expressed confidence in Taylor-Demerson's performance, stating, "We feel really good about Rabbit. (He) stepped in and played good. I didn't see any miscommunication. I thought he made some plays out there and he played well."

In addition to Taylor-Demerson's notable contribution, safety Budda Baker also played 100 percent of the snaps during the game. Cornerbacks Garrett Williams, Starling Thomas V, Sean Murphy-Bunting, and Max Melton shared significant playing time as well. Their combined efforts limited Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers to just 151 passing yards.

Baron Browning participated in his first game with the Cardinals as an outside linebacker, logging 18 snaps. Zaven Collins led this position group with 36 snaps.

Kyzir White was present for every snap at inside linebacker while Mack Wilson Sr., Owen Pappoe, and Krys Barnes contributed to varying degrees.

On the defensive line, Dante Stills led with 38 snaps alongside teammates L.J. Collier, Naquan Jones, Roy Lopez, and Khyiris Tonga.

Offensively, some backup players received opportunities towards the end of the game. Center Hjalte Froholdt and left tackle Paris Johnson Jr. were given brief rests from their usual duties. Wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., Michael Wilson, Zay Jones, and Greg Dortch had varied participation levels throughout the match.

Running back James Conner took part in 32 plays while Trey Benson made a notable impact during his limited playtime of 16 snaps.

Tight ends Trey McBride and Tip Reiman saw substantial action on offense along with Elijah Higgins who also contributed significantly to the team's efforts.
