Arizona Cardinals release depth chart, roster for NFL Week 1 vs. Washington Commanders
The Arizona Cardinals have released their first depth chart of the 2023-24 regular season ahead of Sunday's NFL Week 1 game against the Washington Commanders.
With Kyler Murray on the PUP list, all eyes are on the quarterback position for the Cardinals.
The team's initial depth chart Tuesday didn't offer any clarity on who will start for Arizona in Week 1, listing Joshua Dobbs or Clayton Tune as the starter, but a report from NFL Media's Ian Rapoport Wednesday indicated the Cardinals were going to start Dobbs in Week 1.
Rapoport posted: "Sources: The #AZCardinals are expected have Josh Dobbs as their starting QB this week, with rookie Clayton Tune getting backup reps. They’ll evaluate the situation each week, but this is how it begins."
That was the only position battle still not resolved for the Cardinals, according to the team's media relations department, which put out the depth chart.
The Cardinals have not made an official announcement as to which QB will start the game.

Zach Ertz has come off the PUP list for the Cardinals, and is listed as the starting tight end, but Arizona is also currently carrying three other players at the position with Ertz's availability still in question.
