Vikings WR Justin Jefferson spoke glowingly of QB Kyler Murray on Monday. “He understands the game. He understands the defenses," Jefferson said on KFAN. "He understands how to put touch on the ball, just enough to where it gets to where it’s gotta go, without making it difficult for us. He understands the game a lot more… he kinda throws the ball before you even get out that break… he’s a smart guy, and he’s a competitor.”
Vikings HC Kevin O’Connell was asked on KFAN1003 about the new offense with Kyler Murray at the helm. O’Connell called it the “Justin Jefferson program” and might have revealed some expectations for new QB Kyler Murray. O’Connell also mentioned that defenses will want to have a spy for Murray (and then quickly added, or “any of our other QBs”). But, the comment shows a potential plan for the offense: help Justin Jefferson get open by forcing defenses to respect Murray’s rushing.
The Vikings are signing QB Kyler Murray to a one-year deal, according to multiple reports. That sets him up to compete with third-year QB J.J. McCarthy for the starting job in 2026. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that the deal includes a "no-tag clause." So Murray's clearly hoping to prove himself this season and then land a big deal ahead of 2027.
The Cardinals will release QB Kyler Murray when the new league year starts on Wednesday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. That's barring a trade happening before now and then -- which won't. Arizona owes Murray $36.8 million guaranteed in 2026, and another $19.5 million for 2017 would have triggered on March 15 if Murray was still on the roster. So this move has been expected for a while.
The Cardinals are hiring Mike LaFleur as their new HC, according to multiple reports. Arizona becomes the 10th and final team to fill a head-coaching vacancy this offseason. The Cardinals were in the mix for several other candidates, including Klint Kubiak, who accepted the Raiders’ head job yesterday. In the end, Arizona was the last team without a partner before landing on LaFleur.
Cardinals QB Kyler Murray will not return this season, according to HC Jonathan Gannon. Gannon commented that Murray isn’t progressing as the team hoped and thus will not be available at all this season. Murray suffered a mid-foot injury in Week 5 and was placed on IR on November 5th. Jacoby Brissett will QB the team for the rest of the season.
Cardinals HC Jonathan Gannon said Monday that QB Kyler Murray (foot) will not be designated to return from IR and practice this week. So he's out for Sunday's game vs. the Rams. QB Jacoby Brissett will make his eighth straight start in that one. He's finished as a top-12 fantasy QB in each of his first seven starts of the season. Sunday will be his toughest test yet against the Rams' sixth-ranked QB defense.
Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett threw for 301 yards, 2 TDs, and 1 INT in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers. He added 16 yards on three rushes. Brissett enters the Sunday night game as the QB8 for Week by ESPN scoring.
Cardinals QB Kyler Murray was placed on Injured Reserve with his mid-foot sprain. Murray appeared close to returning last week, but was inactive in Week 9. QB Jacoby Brissett was announced as the starter for Week 10, but he steps in for the next four games as the Cardinals starting QB.
Cardinals HC Jonathan Gannon announced Tuesday that he'll start QB Jacoby Brissett on Sunday at Seattle. But he stopped short of extending the decision beyond this week.
Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (foot) is inactive for tonight's game vs. the Cowboys. QB Jacoby Brissett makes his third straight start. He played reasonably well in his first two and gets a cushy matchup in this one against a defense supplying a 47.6% boost to QB fantasy production.
Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett will start Monday night's game vs. the Cowboys, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. QB Kyler Murray, who has been limited in practice this week, is "making progress" in his recovery from his sprained foot and "could have a role" against Dallas. We hear about teams potentially playing two QBs every so often -- and it rarely actually happens. We're projecting Brissett to play every snap in this cushy matchup, making him a strong QB2 and even a low-end spot-starter in 1-QB leagues. The news doesn't tangibly impact either WR Marvin Harrison Jr. or TE Trey McBride. Both guys are strong Week 9 starts.
