Cardinals Stick With Jacoby Brissett for Week 10 as Kyler Murray Heals

The move reflects medical caution around Kyler Murray’s mid-foot sprain.

Overview

  • Head coach Jonathan Gannon said Tuesday that Jacoby Brissett will start Sunday in Seattle, with Kyler Murray continuing to work back from his foot injury.
  • Brissett is coming off a 27-17 win over the Cowboys in which he went 21-of-31 for 261 yards and two touchdowns, snapping Arizona’s losing streak.
  • Gannon had said after the Dallas game that Murray would reclaim the job when healthy before reversing course the next day to name Brissett the Week 10 starter.
  • Multiple doctors advised a 4–8 week recovery window for Murray’s injury with elevated risk of setback until fully healed, according to ESPN reporting.
  • Arizona has averaged 25.7 points per game with Brissett compared with 18.8 in Murray’s starts this season, leaving longer-term questions unresolved under Murray’s contract through 2028.
