If Darius Robinson was on a snap count for his first NFL game, it wasn't apparent in the box score. The defensive lineman participated in 22 snaps out of 53 during his debut, only ten fewer than unit leader L.J. Collier by the end of the game. Robinson's workload is expected to increase over time, along with his production.
"I was just thinking about doing my job at a high level and helping my teammates," Robinson said in the locker room at Minnesota on Sunday. "Unfortunately we lost and I didn't do enough to help us win."
Following Collier, Dante Stills played 31 snaps, Roy Lopez 29, then Robinson and Naquan Jones each had 19 among the defensive front players. At outside linebacker, Zaven Collins led with 30 snaps, followed by Baron Browning with 22, Jesse Luketa with 20, and Victor Dimukeje with 18. Xavier Thomas played only five snaps.
At inside linebacker, Kyzir White was the sole defender who played all 53 snaps. Mack Wilson Sr., who arguably had his best game of the season, was involved in 50 snaps (playing 32 in the box, 13 as an OLB and five as a slot corner with his season-high percentage of work). Krys Barnes took part in one snap while Owen Pappoe did not have any defensive snaps.
In the secondary, Jalen Thompson returned to play for 52 snaps alongside fellow safety Budda Baker. Dadrion Taylor-Demerson's defensive snap count decreased to three due to Thompson's availability. Starling Thomas V led the cornerbacks with 41 snaps after Sean Murphy-Bunting briefly left the game due to an injury issue before returning; Murphy-Bunting played for a total of 39 snaps. Garrett Williams contributed with 37 snaps and Max Melton participated in 26.
On offense, tight end Trey McBride was involved in 77 out of a possible 82 offensive plays. Tip Reiman played for 34 snaps while Elijah Higgins participated in 25. Among wide receivers, Marvin Harrison Jr. took part in 72 plays followed by Michael Wilson with 67, Zay Jones with 32, and Greg Dortch with 19.
