Why Kyler Murray Isn't Playing Tonight for Cardinals vs. Cowboys
Kyler Murray has many fond memories at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, where he won games in both high school and college. However, he will not be playing Monday Night Football as the Arizona Cardinals face the Dallas Cowboys.
Starting Quarterback Decision
Arizona's starting quarterback will be Jacoby Brissett, not Kyler Murray, who is recovering from a foot injury.
Injury Update
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported:
"Kyler Murray is making progress from his foot sprain, and could have a role Monday night, but Brissett will start."
The phrase "could have a role" is unusual and leaves uncertainty about whether Murray will participate during the game. The official inactive report later confirmed that Murray is inactive for the game.
Summary
Despite his connection to the stadium, Murray sits out while Brissett starts at quarterback due to injury.
Author's Summary
Kyler Murray’s foot injury sidelines him as Jacoby Brissett starts for the Cardinals against the Cowboys, though Murray may still be involved later in the game.
