Kyler Murray Placed on Injured Reserve; Season Return Unlikely Unless Brissett Injured

Kyler Murray has been placed on injured reserve due to a mid-foot sprain, significantly impacting his availability for the remainder of the season. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Murray is not expected to start again this season, "absent injury to Jacoby Brissett." This development suggests a limited path back to the starting role for the Arizona Cardinals quarterback, with his future in Arizona currently in limbo. The team's decision to place him on IR on Wednesday underscores the severity of the injury and the unlikelihood of his immediate return to play.
