Cardinals Name Jacoby Brissett Week 10 Starter, Coach Says He’d Keep Job Even With Healthy Murray

The choice reflects medical caution on Murray’s foot timetable, signaling confidence in Brissett’s steadier offense.

Overview

  • Coach Jonathan Gannon confirmed Brissett will start at Seattle, marking a fourth straight start after Monday’s win in Dallas.
  • Gannon said he would start Brissett even if Kyler Murray were fully healthy, a reversal from his postgame stance the night before.
  • Murray consulted multiple doctors and was given a 4–8 week recovery window for his mid-foot injury with elevated setback risk if rushed, per ESPN reporting.
  • Gannon has not ruled out placing Murray on injured reserve as the team evaluates next steps in his recovery.
  • Arizona’s offense has produced more under Brissett, averaging about 25.7 points per game compared with 20.6 in Murray’s starts, including 261 yards and two touchdowns from Brissett in the 27–17 win over the Cowboys.
