Despite the uncertainty surrounding the quarterback position, Gannon expressed confidence in Brissett’s performance. He noted the offense’s overall effectiveness, saying, “I like where we’re operating, how we’re operating as an offense.”

In his three starts this season, Brissett has recorded the following statistics:

  • Wins: 1
  • Losses: 2
  • Touchdowns: 6
  • Interceptions: 1

Next Steps for the Cardinals

When asked about the potential return of Murray, Gannon did not provide a clear answer, instead referencing the upcoming game against Seattle. The current plan focuses on Brissett’s continued play while Murray recovers.
