Overview
- Arizona placed Murray on injured reserve with a mid-foot sprain, making him ineligible to return before Week 14 on Dec. 7.
- Coach Jonathan Gannon said Jacoby Brissett would start even if Murray were healthy, and Brissett has produced a 103.4 passer rating with six touchdowns and one interception.
- ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports many around the league expect a separation, with one source calling it “imminent,” and NFL.com details discussions set for after the season.
- Financial pressures loom: a pre–June 1 release would create about $57.7 million in dead money, a trade would save roughly $35.3 million with $17.9 million dead, and a $19.5 million 2027 guarantee vests in March.
- Multiple outlets are speculating on 2026 fits — including the Steelers, Jets, Raiders, Vikings, Browns and Panthers — as some executives suggest Arizona could limit Murray’s snaps to protect trade value.
