The Arizona Cardinals are navigating the dual challenges of striving for playoff contention while also planning for their future. In their recent game against the Seattle Seahawks, rookie Isaiah Adams made his first NFL start at right guard, playing all 71 offensive snaps. This marked a significant step as Adams had previously been rotating in behind veteran Trystan Colon.

Tight end Trey McBride played 67 snaps, following closely behind quarterback Kyler Murray and the offensive line. At wide receiver, Marvin Harrison Jr. led with 60 snaps, while Michael Wilson followed with 59. Other receivers included Greg Dortch with 27 snaps, Zay Jones with 24, and Zach Pascal with just two.

In the running back position, James Conner participated in 55 plays, supported by Trey Benson's ten and Emari Demercado's eight.

On defense, Jalen Thompson overcame an illness to play all 64 defensive snaps alongside safety Budda Baker and inside linebacker Kyzir White. Cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting topped his group with 59 snaps. Garrett Williams contributed 52 plays, while Starling Thomas V and Max Melton recorded similar numbers with 36 and 31 snaps respectively. Safety Rabbit Taylor-Demerson added twelve snaps to his tally.

Mack Wilson Sr., another inside linebacker, played in 54 defensive plays. The outside linebackers saw Zaven Collins leading with 32 snaps, followed by Baron Browning's 31. Julian Okwara returned from being a healthy scratch since the bye week to participate in eighteen plays alongside Jesse Luketa and Xavier Thomas who both had sixteen each.

On the defensive line front, L.J. Collier took part in 36 plays while Dante Stills was involved in one less at thirty-five. Darius Robinson increased his involvement to thirty plays; Roy Lopez managed twenty-nine before leaving due to an ankle injury; Naquan Jones completed twenty-four plays.
