Murray's Week 9 Status Uncertain; Brissett Leads

Kyler Murray is rehabbing a mid‑foot sprain that cost him two games, and his status as the Cardinals’ Week 9 starter vs. the Dallas Cowboys remains uncertain after limited practice reps and a canceled media session. Jacoby Brissett has taken the bulk of first‑team work, throwing 16 passes to Murray’s eight in Friday’s open session and working primarily with starters Marvin Harrison Jr., Trey McBride and Michael Wilson. The Cardinals have worked out additional quarterbacks and are keeping Murray’s status intentionally vague — a tactic that could delay an official starter announcement until game day — while Arizona’s offense has shown better cohesion with Brissett. Insider John Gambadoro says Murray is not being shopped and there have been no trade calls as the Nov. 4 deadline nears, and recent roster moves (Michael Carter’s demotion, Emari Demercado’s likely return) add further lineup uncertainty ahead of Monday Night Football.
