Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Officially questionable for Week 9
Rotowire
Murray (foot) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Cowboys.
Murray was limited in practice all week while recovering from a foot sprain. That led to head coach Jonathan Gannon announcing Jacoby Brissett as the starter for Monday night's game, though Murray could have a role as the backup if he's cleared to play. If Murray is inactive for Week 9, Kedon Slovis would be in line to serve as Brissett's backup for a third consecutive game.

Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Won't start vs. Dallas
Rotowire
Murray (foot) will not start against the Cowboys on Monday, as Jacoby Brissett is set to make his third consecutive start, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Murray is making progress from a foot sprain that he sustained during the Cardinals' Week 5 loss against the Titans. He missed the two games prior to the Week 8 bye but was limited in practice during Week 9 prep despite the extra rest, with Brissett taking most of the first-team reps Thursday and Friday. Given the lack of practice reps, Murray will cede the starting spot to Brissett for a third consecutive game, though the former could have a role as the Cardinals' backup, assuming he is active for Week 9.

Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Limited in practice again
Rotowire
Murray (foot) was a limited practice participant Friday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said Thursday that he was preparing Murray to start Monday's game at Dallas, but beat writers saw Jacoby Brissett take most of the first-team reps both Thursday and Friday during the media-access portion of practice. It's possible that changed once practice was closed off to reporters, but all we know for sure is that the Cardinals limited Murray's workload again. He was also a limited practice participant throughout Week 7, getting a 'questionable' designation on the final injury report before being declared inactive on game day. It's unclear at this point if a Week 8 bye allowed Murray to make enough progress for a Week 9 return, and the situation is all the more challenging for fantasy with Arizona playing on Monday.

Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Officially limited following bye
Rotowire
Murray (foot) officially was limited at Thursday's practice, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
On the heels of the Cardinals' Week 8 bye, coach Jonathan Gannon told Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com on Thursday that the team is preparing Murray to start Monday's game at Dallas. "Get him fully healthy, play," Gannon added after Murray missed Arizona's last two games due to a mid-foot sprain. During Thursday's session, No. 2 QB Jacoby Brissett was spotted throwing to the starters, while Murray was working with reserve pass catchers, per Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com. The Cardinals also pushed back their QB availability to later this week after Murray initially was expected to speak to the media Thursday, according to Weinfuss. As a result, it remains up in the air if Murray indeed will resume starting duties Week 9.

Cardinals' Kyler Murray: QBs to Start
Rotowire
Murray (foot) has missed the past two games, and then Arizona had a bye in Week 8. He should be ready to go for Week 9, and he gets a dream matchup against the Cowboys, who are No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. Murray has only topped 20 Fantasy points twice this season in five games, but Dallas has allowed every opposing quarterback this year to score at least 23.7 points. This should be Murray's best Fantasy performance to date, and he has top-10 upside in all leagues in Week 9.
Murray (foot) was on the field for Tuesday's bonus practice session and was spotted throwing passes to the Cardinals' main receiving options, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Murray hasn't thrown to members of the first-team offense in weeks while he's been managing a foot sprain, but he's in a much better spot coming out of Arizona's Week 8 bye. Head coach Jonathan Gannon acknowledged as much following the unofficial workout, telling Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com that Murray is "doing better" after missing the last two games. At this stage, Murray appears to be trending toward starting Monday's game in Dallas.

Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Sitting out again in Week 7
Rotowire
Murray (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Since emerging from a Week 5 loss to the Titans with a mid-foot sprain, Murray hasn't been able to log more than a limited practice (four in all) over the last two weeks. He was listed as questionable for each of the past two contests, but like in Week 6, insiders Ian Rapoport of NFL Network and Adam Schefter of ESPN reported beforehand that Murray was trending toward another absence, with the latter noting that the QB is in line to play in the Cardinals' next game Monday, Nov. 3 at Dallas following a Week 8 bye. With Murray again in street clothes, backup Jacoby Brissett will direct Arizona's offense for a second straight game.

Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Not expected to face Packers
Rotowire
Murray (foot) is not expected to suit up for Sunday's home game against Green Bay, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Murray remains officially listed as questionable after having turned in a trio of limited practice sessions, but the Cardinals are expected to start veteran backup Jacoby Brissett for a second consecutive contest. With Arizona then slated for a Week 8 bye, the expectation is that Murray will be ready to retake the field Monday, Nov. 3 versus the Cowboys in Week 9. Confirmation on Murray's status will arrive no later than 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Trending toward not playing Week 7
Rotowire
The Cardinals are planning to start Jacoby Brissett instead of Murray (foot) against the Packers on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Murray drew the questionable tag for Sunday's game after being a limited practice participant all week. However, with the Cardinals on a bye for Week 8, it appears the team will sit Murray to give him more time to heal from a mid-foot sprain, which would make Week 9 against the Cowboys on Monday, Nov. 3 the next opportunity for the 28-year-old quarterback to play. Brissett had a strong showing in the Cardinals' Week 7 loss to the Colts, with the veteran completing 27 of 44 passes for 320 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while turning three carries into 19 yards.

Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Status in question for Week 7
Rotowire
Murray (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Packers, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Murray already has missed one contest due to a mid-foot sprain, and despite being limited during all three Week 7 sessions, he was seen throwing to reserve pass catchers Thursday and Friday, suggesting Jacoby Brissett is more likely than Murray to start again this weekend. The Cardinals have three QBs on the active roster, so even if Murray isn't active Sunday, he could be available as the emergency third quarterback behind Brissett and Kedon Slovis.

Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Uncertain for Week 7
Rotowire
Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said Friday that Murray (foot) is "doing well" but remains uncertain to play Sunday against the Packers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Murray has been a limited practice participant since last Friday and appears headed for a questionable designation for the second straight week. He might even come down to a game-day decision this time, after reports last Saturday all but ruled him out for Sunday's eventual loss at Indianapolis. WRs Marvin Harrison (concussion) and Zay Jones (knee) also are uncertain for Week 7.

Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Remains limited Thursday
Rotowire
Murray (foot) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
After being limited at Wednesday's closed walkthrough, Murray was seen throwing passes to reserve wide receivers Thursday, while Jacoby Brissett worked with the Cardinals' first-team offense, according to Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. It was a similar breakdown of reps to last Friday before Murray was inactive this past Sunday at Indianapolis due to a mid-foot sprain and yielded the start to Brissett. Nevertheless, Murray has one more chance to prove his health before the Cardinals likely tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers.

Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Not expected to play Sunday
Rotowire
Murray (foot), who remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, is likely to sit out the contest, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Murray is dealing with a foot injury that held him out of two practices and limited in one other this week. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Murray is dealing with a mid-foot sprain that is "a version of a Lisfranc injury," which could sideline the nimble quarterback for more than one week. While the Cardinals haven't completely closed the door on Murray playing Sunday, the team will most likely turn to Jacoby Brissett to start at quarterback against Indianapolis. Brissett is familiar with the Colts organization, having played for the club for four seasons from 2017 through 2020.

Murray (foot) is returning to practice Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon told reporters that Murray's availability for Sunday against the Colts will be based on the QB's progress over the next couple of days. A return to practice is at least a step in the right direction.

Cardinals' Kyler Murray: No practice Thursday
Rotowire
Murray (foot) didn't practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Murray hasn't practiced so far this week due to the foot injury that forced him out for three snaps during this past Sunday's 22-21 loss to the Titans. He thus has one more opportunity to mix into drills Friday before Arizona potentially makes a ruling on his status for Week 6 action. If Murray sits out Sunday's game at Indianapolis, veteran signal-caller Jacoby Brissett is waiting in the wings to lead the Cardinals offense.

Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Rushing score in loss
Rotowire
Murray completed 23 of 31 passes for 220 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 22-21 loss to the Titans. He added four rushes for 25 yards and a touchdown.
Murray and the Cardinals' offense looked to be in for a big performance, as they put up 21 points within the first 17 minutes of game time. He accounted for one of those scores with a 12-yard rushing touchdown by out-racing the defense to the right sideline. It was an odd performance from there, however, as the Arizona offensive play-calling became passive, and Murray also missed a few plays in the third quarter with a foot injury. The end result was a relatively muted stat line, including his first game this season without a passing score.

Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Pair of picks in Week 4 loss
Rotowire
Murray completed 27 of 41 passes for 200 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions while adding five rushes for 41 yards in the Cardinals' 23-20 loss to the Seahawks on Thursday night.
Murray endured a difficult night despite completing a respectable 65.9 percent of his passes and throwing multiple touchdowns for the second time in four contests. The 2019 first overall pick took six sacks, and his second-quarter interception came at the Seahawks' 22-yard line to snuff out what would have been a high probability of at least three points in a game ultimately decided by a field goal. Murray did lead the Cardinals on a clutch 12-play, 57-yard march late in the fourth quarter that culminated in a seven-yard touchdown pass to Emari Demercado, but Sam Darnold and the Seahawks had just enough time to squeak out the victory. Murray takes a 6:3 TD:INT and impressive 25-148-0 rushing line over four games into a favorable Week 5 home matchup against the Titans on Sunday, Oct. 5.

Cardinals' Kyler Murray: QBs to Sit
Rotowire
Murray has scored 16.1 Fantasy points or less in each of his past two games against Carolina and San Francisco, and now he faces a tough test against the Seahawks, who have allowed four passing touchdowns compared to five interceptions on the season. Murray also averaged just 16.1 Fantasy points in two games against Seattle last year, and I would only start him in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues this week.
Murray completed 17 of 25 pass attempts for 220 yards, one touchdown and one interception while rushing seven times for 32 yards in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Panthers.
It was a tale of two halves for Murray, who had his team up comfortably going into the break but was barely clinging onto victory when time expired. An untimely interception to end a 70-yard drive in the fourth quarter played a huge role in letting Carolina back into this contest. It was Murray's first interception of the season to go along with his three passing touchdowns and 70 rushing yards through two starts in 2025. The dual-threat QB is shaping up to be a high-floor, low-ceiling fantasy option in a road matchup against a tough 49ers defense next Sunday.

Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Tosses two TDs in opener
Rotowire
Murray completed 21 of 29 passes for 163 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Saints. He added 38 rushing yards on seven carries.
The 28-year-old QB did get sacked five times, but it was otherwise a very sharp performance from Murray in the season opener. Both touchdown passes came in the red zone in the second quarter, as he found Marvin Harrison for a one-yard score before chucking a shovel pass to James Conner for a four-yard TD. Murray threw multiple TD passes only four times in 17 regular-season games in 2024, so this was a very encouraging start to 2025 for the Cardinals' passing game. He figures to be productive again at home Week 2 against the Panthers.
