Kyler Murray Fantasy Stats

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said on Monday that surgery isn't currently on the table for quarterback Kyler Murray (foot), according to Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. "To my knowledge, not right now. That's as honest as I can answer it. I have not heard that. No," Gannon said. Murray is eligible to be activated from Injured Reserve, but the Cardinals will not open his 21-day practice window this week because he's simply not ready to return to practice following his foot sprain back in the Week 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans. The 28-year-old will not return this week when the team faces the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, and it remains to be seen if he'll be in play for Week 15 versus the Houston Texans. The Cardinals have been non-committal on whether Murray will even take the starting QB job back from Jacoby Brissett, who has led a much more explosive offensive attack with Murray sidelined.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said on Monday that the team will not open quarterback Kyler Murray's (foot) 21-day practice window this week, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Murray is eligible to come off Injured Reserve, but he's just not ready yet. The 28-year-old will not play in Week 14 against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, and his next chance to play won't come until Sunday, Dec. 14, versus the hosting Houston Texans. Veteran Jacoby Brissett has elevated Arizona's offense since Murray suffered a foot sprain in Week 5, so even when Murray is cleared from his injury, Brissett could remain as the starting QB for the rest of the season. Murray's injury and poor performance before he got hurt raise plenty of questions about his long-term future in the desert going into the offseason.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) is eligible to return from Injured Reserve in Week 14 against the Los Angeles Rams, but he is not quite fully recovered from a mid-foot sprain, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft completed 68.3% of his passes for 962 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions to go with 29 rushes for 173 yards and a rushing touchdown in the first five games as Arizona's starter. Jacoby Brissett has performed well in Murray's absence and set an NFL record 47 completions in Arizona's Week 11 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Brissett has elevated Michael Wilson's game and helped send Trey McBride to another level as the top fantasy scoring tight end in the league. It remains to be seen if Murray will reclaim the starting job when he is fully healthy.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) is eligible to return from Injured Reserve as early as Week 14, and while the team prepares for a Week 13 matchup with the Buccaneers, he was spotted putting in work off to the side with some of the team's athletic trainers. Veteran Jacoby Brissett has been the team's starter since Week 6 and has reinvigorated Arizona's passing offense. Brissett has averaged 314.5 passing yards across his six starts, while throwing at least two touchdowns in five of six. Trey McBride is currently the top-scoring fantasy tight end in the league, and with Marvin Harrioson Jr. (appendix) missing the past two games following an emergency appendectomy, Brissett has transformed Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch into week winners. While the result in the win-loss column has not been as favorable, it seems unlikely that Murray will reclaim the starting job anytime soon, and it's still possible he's already taken his last snap with the team.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) is eligible to come off Injured Reserve in Week 14 against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, according to Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. "He's working hard to get healthy. That's what he's doing right now. He's in every meeting, and he's engaged. He's rehabbing a boatload of time in there," head coach Jonathan Gannon said on Monday. Murray has been sidelined since suffering a mid-foot sprain in the Week 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans. It was reported earlier this month that Murray will be the backup QB when he's ready to come off IR, as veteran Jacoby Brissett has given the Cardinals' passing offense a spark since Murray went down with an injury. Another disappointing and injury-plagued season for Murray has put his long-term future in doubt in Arizona.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) could be traded or released next offseason as his future with the team is in limbo, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Murray maintained a 68.1 percent completion rate with 962 passing yards, 173 rushing yards, seven total touchdowns, and four turnovers through the first five games this season. He then missed three games due to injury, and his absence was extended even further this week as Arizona placed him on injured reserve. Although Murray is sidelined due to injury, there has been some speculation about whether he would have still been benched for Jacoby Brissett even if healthy. Regardless of the behind-the-scenes details, Schefter's report paints a clear picture of a potential separation between the Cardinals and their former No. 1 overall selection. Arizona must make a decision on his future by the fifth day of the 2026 league year next March, when an additional $19.5 million becomes guaranteed. The team's options are to release him, keep him, or try to find a trade partner that is willing to take on the final two years of his expensive contract. One source told Schefter that "separation is imminent" between the two parties, but there's still plenty of time for that sentiment to change between now and March. In the meantime, it'll be Brissett under center for the Cardinals.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) has been in the building working hard, and the expectation is that he should return at some point this season, according to general manager Monti Ossenfort. When asked if that meant a return to the starting lineup, Ossenfort was less committal, saying, "A lot can happen" during the four weeks Murray is slated to miss after being placed on IR on Wednesday. The Cardinals are 1-2 in the three games started by Jacoby Brissett, but the offense has taken a notable step forward, with both Marvin Harrison Jr. and Trey McBride benefiting from Brissett's 287 passing yards per game, along with his six touchdowns to only one interception. As he supports the team's primary pass-catchers, Brissett himself has also entered the streaming conversation in deeper leagues and superflex formats.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said on Wednesday that quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) will go on Injured Reserve, according to Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com. "He needs to get healthy," Gannon said. Murray will be forced to miss at least four games, meaning that he won't be eligible to return until Week 14 against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, Dec. 7. The 28-year-old has been sidelined since suffering a mid-foot sprain in the Week 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans. The two-time Pro Bowler didn't look good in his five starts before getting hurt, going 110-for-161 for 962 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions. Veteran Jacoby Brissett has elevated the offense in his three starts in place of Murray, and if he continues to play well, Murray may remain on the bench when he returns from IR.

Quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) and the Arizona Cardinals have consulted with multiple doctors on his mid-foot sprain and have been told that the timetables for recovery have been "anywhere from 4-8 weeks," sources told Adam Schefter of ESPN. There is "an increased chance of a setback until it's properly healed," so Murray now "has more time to heal." Murray has been out since injuring his foot in the Week 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans, giving way to veteran Jacoby Brissett, who has actually been better for the Cardinals' offense in his three starts to this point. Murray may be active for the Week 10 game against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks this Sunday, but if he is, he'll be backing up Brissett. Head coach Jonathan Gannon said after Monday night's win over the Cowboys that Murray will be the team's starter at QB when he's healthy, but it's unclear exactly when that will be. Murray's hazy injury timeline basically gives the Cardinals more time to hold off on giving Murray the starting job back.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) is expected to remain the team's starting quarterback when healthy, despite the quality play of backup Jacoby Brissett, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Head coach Jonathan Gannon spoke following Arizona's 27-17 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night, saying, "Nothing's changed" regarding Murray's status as the team's starting quarterback. Gannon had "nothing to add" when asked if Brissett has earned more playing time with how well he's operated the offense. Brissett has led the Cardinals to their three best offensive performances of the season, but Gannon is sticking with the former 2019 No. 1 overall pick despite some up-and-down play this season. Once fully recovered from the foot injury suffered in their Week 5 loss to the Titans, Murray should slide back in atop the depth chart, but plenty of questions will be asked as the week goes along.
