Updated Cardinals roster, depth chart for Week 7 vs. Chargers
The Arizona Cardinals announced a pair of roster moves Monday afternoon, elevating a linebacker and a defensive lineman to the active roster from the practice squad to deal with injuries the Cardinals have. They will play the Los Angeles Chargers Monday night. Before that game kicks off at 6 p.m. Arizona time, let's have a look at the roster and depth chart for the game.
Quarterback
Kyler Murray
Clayton Tune
Good news! Nothing new happening here.
Running back
James Conner
Trey Benson
Emari Demercado
DeeJay Dallas
Benson is listed as questionable for the game, but with no practice squad elevation for Michael Carter, it appears he will be good to go. Demercado is the third-down back.
Wide receiver
'X' receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr.
Zay Jones
'Z' receiver
Michael Wilson
Zach Pascal
Slot receiver
