Murray (foot) is listed as inactive Sunday at Indianapolis.
Murray made a brief exit due to a foot injury Week 5 against the Titans and then didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday before returning in a limited capacity Friday and earning a questionable designation for Week 6. Both Adam Schefter of ESPN and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Saturday evening that Murray wasn't expected to play Sunday, and Rapoport even noted the quarterback is dealing with a mid-foot sprain that may require more than one week on the sideline. For as long as Murray is unavailable, Jacoby Brissett will direct the Cardinals offense.

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.

Cardinals' Kyler Murray: QBs to Sit
Rotowire
Murray has struggled as a Fantasy quarterback this season and scored more than 20 points just twice. He's now dealing with a foot injury heading into Week 6, and I would only start him in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues. The Colts are No. 8 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks this year, and Bo Nix and Matthew Stafford are the lone quarterbacks to score more than 13.9 points against Indianapolis. Hopefully, Murray can still run despite his foot injury, but without his mobility, it will be tough to trust him in all formats in this matchup on the road.

Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Returns to practice
Rotowire
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: Won't practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday that Murray (foot) will not practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Gannon said "we'll see" regarding Murray's status for Week 6, echoing his comments from Monday. The starting quarterback missed just three snaps during the third quarter of Arizona's 22-21 loss to the Titans in Week 5 due to the injury, but he now appears up-in-the-air for Sunday's road matchup against the Colts. Murray will have two more opportunities to practice before the Cardinals have to assign him an injury designation for Sunday, but if he can't go, Jacoby Brissett will be in line to draw a start at Indianapolis.

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: Exits Sunday's game early
Rotowire
Murray sustained a foot injury during Sunday's game against the Titans, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Murray walked to the locker room in the third quarter after bungling a snap off his facemask that resulted in a lost fumble. Jacoby Brissett will direct the Cardinals offense for as long as Murray is sidelined. At the time of his exit, Murray had completed 19 of 25 passes for 194 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed four times for 25 yards and one TD.

Cardinals' Kyler Murray: QBs to Start
Rotowire
Murray has been underwhelming as a Fantasy quarterback this season with only two games with at least 20 Fantasy points, including a high of 22.3, and he's averaging just 18.6 points per game. The good news is he's run for at least 32 yards in every game this season, and he should continue to use his legs this week against the Titans. Tennessee just allowed C.J. Stroud to score a season-high 22.4 Fantasy points, and hopefully Murray sets a new season high as well. He has top-five upside in Week 5 in this matchup.

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

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.

Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Lackluster numbers in loss
Rotowire
Murray completed 22 of 35 pass attempts for 159 yards and a touchdown while rushing six times for 37 yards in Sunday's 16-15 loss to the 49ers.
Murray lacked explosiveness Sunday, generating just one play of 20 or more yards (a 32-yard pass to Marvin Harrison) in the narrow division loss. The 28-year-old has done a good job protecting the football this season, with last week's interception accounting for his only turnover through three starts. Murray's modest passing and rushing totals have built a high floor for his fantasy value heading into Thursday's tilt against the Seahawks.
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.

Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Suiting up Sunday despite illness
Rotowire
Murray (illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game at New Orleans, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
The Cardinals tacked on Murray to their Week 1 injury report Sunday morning due to an illness, but there was an expectation all along he'd be able to suit up. Whether or not he'll be able to make it through the entire game unscathed remains to be seen, but if Murray needs to step off the field at any point, Jacoby Brissett is on hand to direct Arizona's offense in such a scenario.

Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Starters to sit Saturday
Rotowire
Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said Thursday that he plans to sit Arizona's starters and other key players during Saturday's preseason finale against the Raiders, as was the case during the team's second exhibition game against Denver, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Murray and the rest of the starters handled the first two possessions of the Cardinals' preseason opener against Kansas City on Aug. 9, but the first-team offense appears to have shown enough in practices since for Gannon to feel confident heading into Week 1. A consistent drumbeat throughout training camp has been the improved connection between Murray and second-year wideout Marvin Harrison, an encouraging development considering that Arizona made no notable changes to its skill-position personnel from last season. Murray and Harrison's next opportunity to demonstrate their purportedly improved rapport will arrive during the regular-season opener in New Orleans on Sunday, Sept. 7.

Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Exceeds 100 total yards Saturday
Rotowire
Murray completed seven of eight passes for 96 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while adding two rushes for nine yards during the Cardinals' 20-17 preseason win over the Chiefs on Saturday night.
Murray's night got off to a rousing start in the form of 12- and 15-yard completions to Michael Wilson and Marvin Harrison, respectively, which he bookended with his pair of scrambles. However, Murray's third pass attempt -- intended for Harrison -- was picked off, although he bounced back to lead a 10-play, 67-yard march on his next possession that culminated in a field goal. Murray had several more noteworthy connections during the drive, including a 21-yard strike to Trey McBride and two completions to Greg Dortch that totaled that amount as well. The interception aside, it was a positive start to the preseason for the veteran signal-caller, who'll next face the Broncos on the road next Saturday night in Arizona's second preseason tilt.

Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Set to play Saturday
Rotowire
Murray and other starters are scheduled to play in Saturday's preseason opener against Kansas City, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Coach Jonathan Gannon informed reporters Tuesday afternoon, marking a departure from previous years when he used the first preseason game to evaluate the lower portions of his depth chart. Gannon didn't say how much Murray and other starters will play, and it's unclear if WRs Michael Wilson (concussion) and Marvin Harrison (knee) will be available -- although Harrison did return to practice Tuesday.

Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Intends to run more in 2025
Rotowire
Murray said Wednesday during an interview with PHNX Sports that he feels as though the season-ending knee injury he sustained in 2023 "never happened" and that he's "open to running more next year," Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.
Murray said that his knee injury lingered at times during the 2024 season, but that with another healthy offseason under his belt, he doesn't anticipate being hampered at all moving forward. "I do feel like I have to run more next year," Murray said, comparing his dual-threat capabilities at full health to those of Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen. The 27-year-old had a career-low 4.6 rushing attempts per game in 2024, though he was efficient on the ground, scoring five times and averaging a career-best 7.1 YPC. If Murray is indeed comfortable rushing more next season, and potentially able to develop improved chemistry with 2024 first-round pick Marvin Harrison, Arizona's offense will be primed to take a step forward.

Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Tosses four TD passes in Week 18
Rotowire
Murray completed 25 of 35 passes for 242 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions and reeled off 22 yards on three carries during Sunday's 47-24 win against the 49ers
In leading the Cardinals to their highest point total in a game this season, Murray played turnover-free football for the sixth time in 17 contests and also tossed a campaign-high four TD passes, connecting with WR Greg Dortch twice (from 23 and two yards), TE Trey McBride (two yards) and WR Marvin Harrison (12 yards). Murray ends the season with a 68.8 completion percentage, 226.5 passing yards per game and a 21:11 TD:INT while notching 78 carries for 572 yards and five more scores. This season marked the first of the five-year, $230.5 million extension he signed in July 2022, and he'll welcome back all of Arizona's key skill-position talent, including RB James Conner (knee) and WR Michael Wilson (hamstring), once the team reconvenes for the offseason program.
