Is Kyler Murray playing against the Green Bay Packers today?
While there is no official confirmation as yet, all the indicators are that the QB will miss the upcoming game at the State Farm Stadium. Sports Illustrated pointed to an X post by insider Iain Rapoport, where he reported that backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett will start again.
“The #AZCardinals are once again planning to start QB Jacoby Brissett, while QB Kyler Murray (mid-foot sprain) heals, per The Insiders. Murray is questionable, but spent time in practice open to the media, throwing to practice squad receivers while Brissett was with the starters,” Rapoport wrote.
The same claim has been made by another insider, ESPN’s Adam Schefter, who wrote on X that Murray’s return will come in Week 9, after the Cardinals’ upcoming bye week. He is likely to take the field on November 3 against the Dallas Cowboys.
