Players in bold were starters.<\/p>\n<p>QuarterbacksGardner Minshew II (30\/43), Kedon Slovis (28\/41),\u00a0Jacoby Brissett (11\/16)Did not play: Carson Beck (injured)<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">All three quarterbacks had passer ratings over 100: Brissett 142.9, Minshew 132.6 and Slovis 101.4. Minshew had two touchdown passes, including one by WR Simi Fehoko, who had his second in two games on a fade in the end zone. Brissett\u2019s connection to WR Marvin Harrison Jr. on a 7-yard score culminated a 10-play opening drive of the game. Head coach Mike LaFleur called it an \u201cincredible\u201d throw and added, \u201cI said, \u2018Save those for September, dude.\u2019\u201d Brissett was 5-for-5, Minshew 14-for-16 and Slovis 7-for-9. In two games, the quarterbacks have completed 50 of 59 pass attempts (84.7 percent). Beck did not play because of ribs he injured in the Hall of Fame Game. LaFleur said there\u2019s \u201cno concern\u201d and added Beck started feeling \u201ca little bit worse\u201d a few days later and the team didn\u2019t want to risk playing him.<\/p>\n<p>Your fantasy edge starts here <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (fantasy)|e|auto spike click:5|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/fantasy.usatoday.com\/\">Sync your league for custom roster advice, projections, and tools to win your matchups every week.<\/a>Running backsJeremiyah Love (24\/35), Corey Kiner (22\/32), Zonovan Knight (10\/14), Evan Hull (7\/10), Tyler Allgeier (6\/9)Did not play: Trey Benson (injured), James Conner<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Love got a taste of NFL action for the first time and rushed for 58 yards on 11 carries (5.3 average) with a long of 16. He also added 14 yards on three receptions. Kiner runs hard, had a running leap over a defender and ran 10 times for 59 yards with two receptions for 13 yards. Not including three kneeldowns, the running backs totaled 159 yards on 33 attempts (4.8 average).<\/p>\n<p>Wide receiversReggie Virgil (37\/54), Bryson Green (28\/41), Jalen Brooks (25\/36), Harrison Wallace III (21\/30), Simi Fehoko (20\/29), Ihmir Smith-Marsette (19\/28), Devin Duvernay (18\/26),\u00a0Marvin Harrison Jr. (11\/16), Kendrick Bourne (8\/12), Michael Wilson (7\/10)Did not play: Xavier Weaver<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">A battle is brewing for a fifth and possibly sixth receiver spot between Brooks, Fehoko and Virgil. Brooks had six catches on six targets for 52 yards and a touchdown. Fehoko, a standout on special teams, scored again, while Virgil had a superb reception and caught two for 43 yards with a long of 24.<\/p>\n<p>Tight endsRivaldo Fairweather (28\/41), Teagan Quitoriano (25\/36), Jamison Geers (17\/25), Shawn Bowman (11\/16),\u00a0Trey McBride (1\/1)Did not play: Elijah HigginsActive\/PUP: Tip ReimanReserve\/injured: TE Kenny Yeboah<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">There were only three targets to tight ends, something that will surely change in the regular season. McBride started and that first snap was his only one in the game, while Higgins did not play. The targets to the tight ends were all caught with Geers\u2019 for six yards and a first down, Quitoriano for four yards and Fairweather for three. Assuming Reiman is ready to begin the season, one of the other tight ends could win a roster spot as a blocker if four are on the 53.<\/p>\n<p>Offensive linemenG\/C Hayden Conner (30\/43), T Josh Fryar (30\/43), C\/G Jon Gaines II (30\/43), T Jayden Williams (30\/43), T Christian Jones (28\/41), G Chase Bisontis (28\/41), T Demontrey Jacobs (28\/41), T Valentin Senn (28\/41), C Ka\u2019ena De Cambra (28\/41), T\/G Matt Pryor (15\/22), G\/T Oli Udoh (15\/22),\u00a0LT Paris Johnson Jr. (11\/16), LG Isaac Seumalo (11\/16), RG Isaiah Adams (11\/16), C Hjalte Froholdt (11\/16), RT Elijah Wilkinson (11\/16)<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The night became a downer when Bisontis suffered an injury to his left knee. He tore his MCL, which means he will miss much of, if not all, the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Get more Cardinals and NFL coverage from Cards Wire&#8217;s Jess Root and others by listening to the latest on the Rise Up, See Red podcast.
