Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray will not play in the upcoming game against the Green Bay Packers, marking his second consecutive absence due to a foot injury. The team confirmed Murray’s status by placing him on the inactive list released before the game scheduled for Sunday in Glendale, Arizona.
In Murray’s absence, veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett will take the lead. Brissett demonstrated his capability last week when he completed 27 of 44 passes for 320 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in a narrow 31-27 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. His performance provided a glimpse of potential as he steps into the starting role once again.
Murray, who has been managing a foot issue, was limited during practice sessions throughout the week and was listed as questionable on Friday. The Cardinals will not play next week, providing an additional week for Murray to recover before they face the Dallas Cowboys on November 3, 2023.
The team’s management hopes that the extra time off will aid in Murray’s recovery, allowing him to return to the field and contribute to the Cardinals’ efforts in the weeks ahead. The quarterback has been a crucial part of the team’s offensive strategy, and his presence will be missed as they look to bounce back from last week’s defeat.
With Brissett at the helm, the Cardinals aim to secure a much-needed victory against the Packers, who will also be looking to improve their standing in the league. The match-up promises to be an exciting one, as both teams vie for critical points in the ongoing season.
