Kyler Murray Out for Monday Night Football Against Cowboys

Kyler Murray will be absent from the Monday Night Football matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. The Arizona Cardinals have officially marked their starting quarterback inactive for the game.

Jacoby Brissett Takes Over

Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon previously announced that Jacoby Brissett would be the starting quarterback. Although there were indications that Murray could play a backup role, he will not dress for this game.

Murray’s Injury and the Cardinals’ Struggles

Murray has not participated in a game since a Week 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans, where he sustained a foot injury. The Cardinals have struggled significantly without him, boasting a dismal 1-17 record in their last 18 games when he does not start and finish. Their only victory during this stretch was a 28-16 win over the Cowboys in 2023 with Joshua Dobbs at the helm.

Murray’s Impressive Track Record at AT&T Stadium

Murray has personal ties to the Dallas area, having grown up in the suburb of Allen. He remains undefeated at AT&T Stadium, holding a perfect 9-0 record that includes games with Allen High School, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, and the Cardinals.
