Cardinals Name Jacoby Brissett Monday Night Starter as Kyler Murray Could Dress as Backup

Arizona cites Murray's ongoing foot recovery in delaying his return to the starting job.

Overview

  • Head coach Jonathan Gannon said Saturday that Brissett will start against the Cowboys and that Murray could have a game-day role.
  • Murray has missed the last two games after a Week 5 foot injury and logged limited practices on Thursday and Friday following the bye.
  • Early in the week the team prepared Murray to start if fully healthy, but his restricted workload late in the week kept him out of the QB1 spot.
  • In two starts, Brissett has gone 52-for-80 for 599 yards with four touchdowns and one interception, with both games decided by four points.
  • Arizona is 2-5 with five consecutive one-score losses by a combined 13 points; Murray is 9-0 at AT&T Stadium across high school, college and NFL play but will not start Monday.
