Arizona Cardinals Start Jacoby Brissett Over Injured Kyler Murray Amid Five-Game Losing Streak

The Arizona Cardinals are set to start Jacoby Brissett at quarterback against the Dallas Cowboys as they attempt to end a five-game losing streak. Kyler Murray, the team's primary QB, has struggled with injuries and form this season, including a recent foot sprain that has sidelined him for the past two games. Although Murray is progressing and will be active for the upcoming game, head coach Jonathan Gannon confirmed that Brissett will start for the third consecutive game. Brissett has shown promising performance with four touchdowns and one interception in his last two starts, sparking discussions about him potentially becoming the permanent starter. The Cardinals, currently 2-5 and bottom of the NFC West, have benefited from a bye week that allowed Murray extra recovery time, but his trade remains unlikely before the deadline due to his injury. The team’s struggles continue as they face a strong Cowboys defense, and the decision to start Brissett reflects the ongoing quarterback uncertainty amid Murray’s health issues.
