TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray will miss the remainder of the season because of a foot injury that’s kept him out of the lineup since Week 6.
Coach Jonathan Gannon told reporters the decision before Friday’s practice.
“Kyler will not play again this year,” Gannon said. “He had some more tests done this week, went out of state, got another opinion on it. It’s not progressing where it’s going to make sense where he can go.”
It’s been a hugely disappointing season for both the Cardinals and Murray, who started the season with high expectations, but now have a 3-9 record and are eliminated from the playoff race.
Murray — a two-time Pro Bowl selection — hurt his foot in a Week 5 loss against the Tennessee Titans. The initial feeling was that the quarterback would only miss a few weeks, but it’s now been more than two months since the injury.
The Cardinals host the Rams (9-3) on Sunday. Veteran Jacoby Brissett will make his eighth straight start in Murray’s place.
