Cardinals Won’t Open Kyler Murray’s Practice Window, Keeping QB on IR

Coach Jonathan Gannon said Murray is “not quite there yet,” leaving Jacoby Brissett in place for now.

Overview

  • On Monday, Gannon confirmed the team will not open Murray’s 21-day practice window despite his Week 14 eligibility.
  • Murray remains on injured reserve with a mid-foot strain, and reporting indicates he is not fully healthy yet.
  • Gannon has previously indicated that medical clearance would not automatically restore Murray to the starting job.
  • Brissett has made seven starts, completing 67.8% of his passes for 2,188 yards with 13 touchdowns and four interceptions, and Arizona is 3-9 and eliminated from playoff contention.
  • Analysts note Murray’s $36.8 million in 2026 guarantees and a $19.5 million salary vesting in March, framing offseason trade or release scenarios as possibilities under consideration.
