Kyler Murray Expected to Sit Week 7 as Cardinals Turn to Jacoby Brissett, Eye Week 9 Return

Arizona is prioritizing recovery from a mid-foot sprain, pointing to a post-bye comeback rather than an injured-reserve stint.

Overview

  • Multiple reports say Murray will miss a second straight game against the Packers after being limited in practice and listed as questionable.
  • Veteran Jacoby Brissett is set for another start, with his Week 6 outing producing 320 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.
  • ESPN reports the target for Murray’s return is Week 9 on Monday night at Dallas following Arizona’s Week 8 bye.
  • Head coach Jonathan Gannon said Murray’s status would be evaluated over 48 hours, reflecting a cautious timetable for the mid-foot sprain.
  • Given the expected post-bye timeline, reporting indicates an injured-reserve move is not anticipated as the 2-4 Cardinals try to steady their season.
