The potential rookie on rookie matchup (Marquise Brown vs. Byron Murphy) sounds intriguing but more likely, Hollywood will be moved around as Murphy will likely stay on one side. Hollywood only played limited snaps but had 4 catches for 147 yards and twp touchdowns in his debut.

However, they could him make him travel with him like what Miami did last week (Miami star cornerback Xavien Howard took over and covered him in the latter portion of last week’s game). Murphy had a good rookie outing but did not record a pass deflection or interception and only had four solo tackles. The Cardinals cornerback group is without Patrick Peterson, who is still suspended due to PEDs, and will have to rely on their rookie and veteran Tramaine Brock.

Rookie wide receivers Andy Isabella (Cardinals), KeeSean Johnson (Cardinals), and Miles Boykin (Ravens) were all contributors in the passing game and look to get involved in the offense in week 2.

Boykin only had one catch for the Ravens, but it went for a touchdown. Johnson had five receptions for 47 yards as he was utilized in the offense more than Isabella, who is still looking for his first catch and only had an impact in the return game.

Cardinals rookie starting defensive lineman Zach Allen looks to record his first sack against Jackson as he had 2 quarterback hits and 3 solo tackles against Stafford. Justice Hill, the Ravens change of pace back, should get more involved as he had seven carries for 27 yards. Look for him to get more involved in the passing attack and the return game.
