Quarterback
Katie Stratman-USA TODAY Sports
Trace McSorley, 42; Jarrett Guarantano, 24
McSorley got a lot of work in the first half. He had more snaps because he kept leading scoring drives.
Running back
Katie Stratman-USA TODAY Sports
Jonathan Ward, 26; Eno Benjamin, 17; Keaontay Ingram, 16; T.J. Pledger, 5; Ronnie Rivers, 3
Pledger and Rivers have little chance of making the roster and barely played, even with James Conner and Darrel Williams sitting out.
Wide receiver
Albert Cesare-USA TODAY Sports
Andy Isabella, 55; Greg Dortch, 37; Marcell Ateman, 32; Jontre Kirklin, 22; Andre Baccellia, 17; Victor Bolden, 12; JaVonta Payton, 9
Isabella really got to play, coming off the field for only one snap. Ateman played longer than expected because of the injury to Baccellia.
Tight end
Deon Yelder, 28; Bernhard Seikovits, 22; Chris Pierce, 19; Stephen Anderson, 10
Anderson and Yelder started the game. Anderson only got a little bit of work before yielding to the younger guys.
Offensive line
Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports
Josh Jones, 58; Josh Miles, 48; Sean Harlow, 42; Will Hernandez, 42; Danny Isidora, 33; Marquis Hayes, 33; Koda Martin, 24; Rashaad Coward, 24; Lecitus Smith, 22; Greg Long, 2; Haggai Ndibuisi, 2
We can see how the playing rotation went.
Isidora and Hayes perfectly split the time at left guard, Hernandez and Martin matched up at right guard.
Harlow and Hernandez came out together for Smith and Martin to come in. Long got the two snaps when the offense ran the clock out at the end of the game.
Miles had time at both tackle spots.
