Vikings QB Kyler Murray has cleared concussion protocol and will start Week 3's game against the Buccaneers, HC Kevin O'Connell said Monday. Murray played just 11 snaps in the opener before exiting with the head injury. He'll return for a plus matchup against a Buccaneers defense that just made QB Deshaun Watson look decent. Murray will be a risk/reward QB1 play in Week 3 fantasy lineups.

Vikings QB Kyler Murray (concussion) remained limited in Thursday's practice. He remains more likely than not to miss this weekend's game vs. the Bears, but we'll see what Murray does in Friday's practice and how he's listed on the final injury report. QB Carson Wentz will start if Murray isn't cleared by Sunday.

Vikings QB Kyler Murray took a hit to the head in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Packers. He appeared to be concussed and might have also suffered a neck injury. We'll update his status when we know more, but don't expect to see Murray back today. QB Carson Wentz is Minnesota's backup this week, with QB J.J. McCarthy the emergency third QB.

Update: Murray has been ruled out with a concussion. It's his first documented concussion.

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 QB Kyler Murray (foot) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. He played through this injury last week but seems to be in real danger of missing Sunday's game vs. the Colts. We'll see if Murray practices on Friday and then how he's listed on the final injury report. If Murray can't go, Arizona would turn to QB Jacoby Brissett. He started the first five games of last season for the Patriots, completing just 58.5% of his passes at 5.2 yards per attempt. Brissett would be a tangible downgrade for WR Marvin Harrison Jr. and TE Trey McBride.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. He briefly exited last week's game with this injury but quickly returned and was able to finish. We're tentatively expecting him to play against the Colts this weekend but will keep a close eye on his status over the next few days. Even if Murray plays, it's possible his mobility is limited by this foot issue.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray suffered a foot injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Titans. He headed back to the locker room and is officially questionable to return. We'll update Murray's status when we know more. QB Jacoby Brissett replaced Murray.

Update: Murray returned after missing just a few plays.

The Cardinals are adding QB Kyler Murray to the injury report for today's game against the Saints because of an illness. Multiple reports say, however, that he'll carry no game-status tag and that he'll play. That Arizona's not even listing him as questionable suggests you should go ahead and play Murray as planned in your fantasy lineups. If you're flipping a coin between him and Bo Nix -- slightly behind Murray in our default QB rankings -- it would be OK to lean toward the healthy Nix.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray completed 25 of 31 passes for 232 yards with 3 TDs and 1 INT in Week 17 vs. the Eagles. He added 24 yards on 5 carries. Murray ranks 12th in fantasy points per game among QBs through Week 17, a solid-to-strong level for a mobile QB coming off an ACL tear. His connection with TE Trey McBride proved stellar and presents a solid building block for the Cardinals moving into 2024. HC Jonathan Gannon has since said Murray will "no doubt" remain Arizona's starter. With $53.1 million in projected cap space and three of the top-35 picks in the NFL Draft (as of now), the Cardinals could rebuild the offense quickly around their QB.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray has missed the first two practices of the week with an illness. It's unlikely to keep him out of this weekend's game vs. the Eagles, but we'll see if Murray gets on the field tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report.

Cardinals WR Michael Wilson (shoulder) is not expected to play vs. the Texans today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The rookie aggravated his shoulder injury in Friday's practice. Arizona will also be without WR Zach Pascal (hamstring) today, leaving Greg Dortch as the likely No. 3 WR. That arrangement figures to push WR Rondale Moore to the outside when the Cardinals go with three WRs. Moore, WR Marquise Brown, and TE Trey McBride have a chance to pick up an extra target or two with Wilson out.

Cardinals HC Jonathan Gannon officially named QB Kyler Murray the Week 10 starter on Friday. Sunday's game vs. the Falcons will mark Murray's first action since tearing his ACL last December. His rushing figures to be curtailed coming off that knee injury. And remember that this will be Murray's first game in OC Drew Petzing's offense. He'd be a risky QB1 fantasy play in Week 10 but could quickly work his way into the top-12 discussion.

The Cardinals didn't even list QB Kyler Murray on Thursday's injury report. Does that mean he's ready to play in Week 8? Not necessarily. The team still has yet to fully activate Murray, who has merely been designated to return from the PUP list so far. New NFL rules, however, mandate that Murray will need to carry a Friday practice designation as well as a game status (out, doubtful, questionable) if Arizona doesn't plan to activate him, according to Howard Balzer of gophnx.com. If Murray goes without such designations Friday, the Cardinals would be required to activate him from the PUP and put him on the active roster for Sunday's game. We're still not betting Murray will return for this game, but we'll certainly be watching for his Friday status.

Cardinals HC Kliff Kingsbury conceded Wednesday that QB Kyler Murray (knee) "probably" won't be ready for the start of the 2023 season. Murray underwent surgery Tuesday to reconstruct his ACL and repair meniscus damage in his right knee. We're just about 8 months from the start of the 2023 campaign; this is an injury that usually takes 9+ months to return from. Early fantasy drafters should be operating under the assumption that Murray misses at least the first few games. The PUP list, which would cost him the first 6 games, is a real possibility. Kingsbury also said that QB Colt McCoy isn't playing this weekend to protect him from injury, suggesting that he might be Plan A to replace Murray early next season. McCoy is signed for 2023 with a reasonable $5 million cap hit.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray went down with a non-contact injury on the 3rd play from scrimmage in Monday night's game vs. the Patriots. Murray had to be carted off the field and is certainly done for the night. We'll update Murray's status when we know more. QB Colt McCoy has replaced Murray.

Update: Murray has a knee injury and is officially "questionable" to return, the team announced.

Update: Murray has been downgraded to out.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray threw for 191 yards and 2 TDs (plus an INT) in Sunday's return from 2 games lost to a hamstring injury. He added 56 yards and a TD on 7 carries. Murray now gets a Week 13 bye and then a fairly neutral closing schedule -- with the highlight a Week 17 trip to Atlanta.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (hamstring) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final Week 12 injury report. "He feels great, he feels 100%,” HC Kliff Kingsbury said Friday. “If there was anything less than that we would have maybe waited, but he feels full go, so we're going to get him going." Murray will be back under center for Sunday’s game vs. the Chargers.

Cardinals HC Kliff Kingsbury said Tuesday that QB Kyler Murray has progressed "quite a bit" with his hamstring injury. Kingsbury did not say whether Murray will be back for Week 12, though, saying that he needs to be "full throttle" before getting back under center. We'll track Murray's status throughout the week. Kingsbury also said that QB Colt McCoy is "banged up" with elbow, hand and knee injuries.
