Overview
- Coach Jonathan Gannon said Tuesday that Jacoby Brissett will start at quarterback in Seattle, giving Arizona clarity for its Week 10 preparation.
- Brissett is coming off a 27-17 win at Dallas in which he went 21-of-31 for 261 yards with two passing touchdowns and a rushing score, snapping a five-game skid.
- Multiple doctors advised Murray and the team of a roughly 4–8 week recovery window for his mid-foot injury with elevated risk of setback if rushed, and he has not played since Oct. 5.
- Gannon told local radio he would stick with Brissett even if Murray were healthy, a shift from his postgame stance a day earlier that Murray would start when ready.
- Arizona has averaged about 25.7 points per game with Brissett versus roughly 19–21 with Murray, and national and local reports note health is the stated rationale as public speculation about Murray’s long-term future grows.
