Cardinals Put Kyler Murray on IR With Mid-Foot Sprain as Jacoby Brissett Holds Starting Job

The IR timetable keeps Murray sidelined until at least Week 14, prompting Arizona to protect its remaining depth at quarterback.

Overview

  • Team officials placed Murray on injured reserve with a mid-foot sprain, making him ineligible to return before Dec. 7 (Week 14).
  • Reporting from NFL Network characterizes the injury as a ligament partial tear in the Lisfranc area with no fracture or dislocation.
  • Head coach Jonathan Gannon has Brissett starting during Murray’s recovery, and the veteran has produced efficient passing numbers in recent weeks.
  • General manager Monti Ossenfort said the club will reassess when Murray is healthy, noting IR automatically sidelines a player for a minimum of four games.
  • Late in the Week 10 loss to Seattle, Arizona inserted Kedon Slovis for Brissett to avoid injury risk, as multiple outlets also report Murray’s long-term status with the team is uncertain and could hinge on offseason contract decisions.
