The Arizona Cardinals lost on Sunday 20-10 on the road to the Seattle Seahawks. In the loss, rookie cornerback Garrett Williams made his NFL debut, playing for the first time since he tore his ACL in college last October.
He played pretty well.
However, he wasn’t the only Cardinals rookie to make his NFL debut.
Quarterback Clayton Tune and tight end Elijah Higgins also played in the NFL for the first time.
Williams finished with two tackles, an interception, which also counts as a pass breakup.
Tune played only one snap. It was a fake punt on special teams. He completed a four-yard pass. It was fourth-and-nine, so it was not successful.
Higgins was active for the first time this season and got to play on offense and special teams.
He logged seven special teams snaps and six on offense. He had his first NFL reception, although it was for zero yards.
