Murray (foot) might never play for the Cardinals again, with the team treating him like the Broncos did with Russell Wilson a couple of seasons ago, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Many have speculated that this might be Murray's fate, given that he wasn't initially expected to have a lengthy absence and then ended up on IR. The Cardinals will have an interesting offseason discussion, to say the least. Will they use a potential top-10 pick on a quarterback, shop for another veteran, or even bring back Jacoby Brissett? Meanwhile, Brissett will remain the starter the rest of this season.

Murray's foot injury isn't improving and he won't play again this season, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon made the announcement Friday, confirming what many already expected. He didn't say if Murray will need surgery, nor did the coach comment on expectations for Murray's future (or lack thereof) with the Cardinals. Jacoby Brissett will continue making starts for Arizona, to the delight of anyone relying on TE Trey McBride or WR Michael Wilson in fantasy.

Murray (foot) will not return to practice this week, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murray remains on injured reserve but is eligible to have his 21-day practice window opened. However, the Cardinals will not start Murray's clock for a return, and he'll stick on injured reserve for at least one more week while his foot continues to heal. Jacoby Brissett again will operate under center as the Cardinals' starting quarterback.

Murray is eligible to return from injured reserve Week 14, but he doesn't appear to be fully healed from his mid-foot sprain and appears unlikely to be activated ahead of next Sunday's game against the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to Rapoport, the Cardinals anticipated that Murray would be 100 percent healthy following a four-week stay on IR, but the signal-caller apparently hasn't responded as well to extended rest as the team believed he would. Jacoby Brissett thus appears poised to retain the starting job heading into Week 14, and given how well Brissett has performed over the last several weeks, the Cardinals may not have much motivation to reintegrate Murray down the stretch. Murray is guaranteed $36.8 million for the 2026 season, and Arizona will owe him another $19.5 million in salary for 2027 if he remains on the roster through March 16.

Coach Jonathan Gannon said Monday that Murray (foot) is "working hard to get healthy," Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports. "That's what he's doing right now," Gannon added. "He's in every meeting. He's engaged. He's rehabbing a boat load of time in there."

EDGE Analysis

Murray has been sidelined since he last suited up Week 5 due to a mid-foot sprain, but because the Cardinals didn't place him on injured reserve until before a Week 10 matchup with the Seahawks, he isn't eligible to return until Sunday, Dec. 7 against the Rams, at the earliest. Having said that, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported on Nov. 9 that Murray isn't expected to start again this season unless an injury befalls fellow QB Jacoby Brissett, who has racked up 1,887 yards, 11 touchdowns and three interceptions in six starts since Murray got injured. Murray thus may be facing a backup role whenever he's cleared for game action down the stretch, but he remains embedded in his recovery at the moment.

Murray, who was placed on injured reserve Wednesday due to a mid-foot sprain, is not expected to start again if he returns this season, "absent injury to Jacoby Brissett," Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

While the Cardinals haven't explicitly indicated Brissett will remain their starting quarterback for the remainder of the season, head coach Jonathan Gannon implied Tuesday that Brissett would have started Week 10 in Seattle even if Murray was fully healthy. The Cardinals then deactivated Murray a day later, and though he'll be eligible to return from IR beginning in Week 14, he looks like he could be ticketed for backup duties so long as Brissett stays healthy and continues to direct a productive offense. With that in mind, Rapoport suggests Murray may have played his last game with Arizona, potentially making the 28-year-old signal-caller a trade or cut candidate during the upcoming offseason. Murray is already fully guaranteed $36.8 million for 2026, and he'll be guaranteed an additional $19.5 million in base salary for 2027 if he remains on the roster through March 16.

Coach Jonathan Gannon announced Wednesday that the Cardinals are placing Murray (foot) on injured reserve, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

One day removed from Gannon naming Jacoby Brissett as Arizona's starting QB for Week 10, Murray now will be sidelined for the rest of November due to the mid-foot sprain that has kept him out since he suffered it Week 5. Brissett will continue to lead the offense for the foreseeable future, while Gannon told Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com that Murray has a chance to return this season. Murray's first opportunity to do so will be Sunday, Dec. 7 against the Rams.

Arizona head coach Jonathan Gannon announced that Jacoby Brissett will start Sunday's game in Seattle, but Murray (foot) hasn't been ruled out from being available in a backup capacity, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

After Monday's 27-17 win over the Cowboys, Gannon had suggested that Murray will return to the starting role once fully recovered from the mid-foot sprain that has sidelined him for three straight games, but the coach seemingly did an about-face just one day later. According to John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM, Gannon said in a radio appearance Tuesday that he would have decided to go with Brissett as his starter in Week 10 even if Murray was 100 percent healthy. Gannon made no declarations on his plans at quarterback beyond Week 10, but if Brissett continues to lead the offense effectively in Seattle like he has in his previous three starts, he could have a chance at retaining the job moving forward, regardless of Murray's status. Murray had been a limited practice participant throughout Week 9 prep, but it's unclear how close he might be to fully putting the foot injury behind him. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Murray has consulted with multiple specialists and was provided estimated recovery timelines ranging from 4-to-8 weeks. With that loose timeframe in mind, Gannon acknowledged that Murray could still be a candidate for injured reserve, despite not being officially ruled out for Week 10.

Coach Jonathan Gannon stated that Murray (foot) will remain the Cardinals' starter when he is healthy following Monday's win over the Cowboys, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacoby Brissett has been impressive in three starts for the Cardinals, throwing for multiple scores in each while also leading the team to a primetime win over the Cowboys on Monday. His performance has seemingly created a quarterback controversy in Arizona, though Gannon tried to end that chatter with a clear statement that Murray remains the team's starter. Murray has yet to record a full practice since suffering a mid-foot sprain, so it remains unclear whether Murray will be ready to return Week 10 against Seattle.

Murray (foot) is listed as inactive Monday at Dallas, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murray hasn't been able to upgrade to full participation in practice due to a mid-foot sprain that he initially suffered Week 5 against the Titans, and he'll now be sidelined for a third straight game while Jacoby Brissett continues to lead the Cardinals offense and Kedon Slovis serves as the backup. Murray's next chance for game action is this coming Sunday at Seattle.
