Cardinals Prepare Jacoby Brissett to Replace Kyler Murray as Starter
As the Arizona Cardinals prepare for their upcoming game against the Indianapolis Colts, they may have to turn to Jacoby Brissett as their starting quarterback. With Kyler Murray facing an injury, Brissett is poised to take the lead once again.
Brissett Steps In as Cardinals Prepare for Colts
Reports indicate that Jacoby Brissett is set to start in place of Kyler Murray due to a mid-foot sprain. ESPN has confirmed that Brissett is expected to fill this role, while NFL Media notes that there remains a possibility for Murray to play. However, the likelihood appears low as the injury may have him sidelined beyond just this Sunday.
Brissett’s Experience and Background
Jacoby Brissett, a third-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, has started a total of 53 games throughout his professional career. He has previously suited up for several teams, including the:
- New England Patriots
- Indianapolis Colts
- Miami Dolphins
- Cleveland Browns
- Washington Commanders
- Arizona Cardinals
This wide-ranging experience may prove beneficial as he steps in to lead the Cardinals, who began the season with a promising 2-0 record but have since faced three consecutive losses.
Recent Performance Issues
The Cardinals’ recent struggles have come down to narrow defeats, with each loss occurring due to last-second field goals. If their losing streak continues, there could be significant changes in the organization. This may include a coaching overhaul or even a reassessment of the quarterback position.
As the team navigates these challenges, the immediate focus remains on whether Murray will be available to play. With uncertainty surrounding his injury status, the team’s future depends on how they perform in the upcoming game against the Colts.
