Week 1 snap counts show role shifts; Hubbard, Waller and others increased usage

Week 1 snap counts reveal who earned more playing time and who lost snaps; these patterns help explain subsequent roster and depth-chart decisions.

In this brief: 2 sections 1 min read

- Chuba Hubbard played significantly more snaps than Jonathon Brooks and was the clear RB1 in Week 1.
- Darren Waller, despite limited preseason work, out-snapped other TEs except Tommy Tremble and looks like TE2.
- Jonathon Brooks saw only 13 snaps; his role appears situational after Week 1.
- Princely Umanmielen was out-snapped by Trevis Gipson after struggles in containing scrambles.
- If Pat Jones remains out, Gipson could start next week according to the analysis.
- Jimmy Horn Jr. played mostly special-teams snaps (12) and limited offense (14) — a usage pattern that preceded his waiver.
