Cardinals Reaffirm Kyler Murray as Starter After Jacoby Brissett’s Strong Fill-In

Gannon says Murray returns as soon as his injured foot is cleared.

Overview

  • Arizona’s offense posted its top passing day of 2025 with Jacoby Brissett going 27-of-44 for 320 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in a 31-27 loss at Indianapolis.
  • Kyler Murray sat out Week 6 with a foot injury, and his availability for the Week 7 home game against the Packers remains uncertain with a bye week to follow.
  • Head coach Jonathan Gannon reiterated there is no quarterback controversy, declaring Murray the starter and saying he will play when medically ready rather than being held out for extra rest.
  • Coaches and teammates praised Brissett’s poise and command as Arizona tailored the plan to his pocket strengths, producing a more efficient downfield attack.
  • The Cardinals are 2-4 with four consecutive one-score defeats by a combined nine points, and Brissett’s outing has intensified outside questions about the longer-term QB plan given Murray’s sizable contract.
