Kyler Murray Shut Down for Season as Reports Point to Cardinals Split

Arizona now faces an offseason crossroads over the franchise’s direction at quarterback.

Overview

  • Head coach Jonathan Gannon confirmed Murray will not return in 2025 due to a foot injury sustained earlier in the season.
  • The injury traces to a Week 5 snap that struck Murray’s facemask, after which he was placed on injured reserve.
  • Backup Jacoby Brissett started eight games in Murray’s absence and sparked improved production in the passing game.
  • Multiple outlets, including ESPN via Adam Schefter, have reported that a separation between Murray and the Cardinals is likely.
  • Reporting says Murray sought a voice in personnel and draft decisions, requests the team largely declined aside from trading for Marquise Brown in 2022.
