NFL star Kyler Murray is undeniably a great quarterback in the league at present. He joined the Arizona Cardinals in his rookie season as their 1st pick in the 2019 NFL draft. He has already got to 2 Pro Bowl in his 4-year career. However, the star player has been suffering a major setback and fans are anticipating his return to the gridiron.
The Arizona Cardinals have already mentioned that Kyler Murray is on the PUP list. This further means that the star quarterback will surely miss the first 4 matches this season. That’s primarily because the star quarterback hasn’t yet recovered fully from the injury he suffered from last season.
Murray has been the leading quarterback for the Cardinals since his debut. This is why the team might be preferring him to play only when he’s completely fit. They reportedly don’t want to worsen the NFL star’s injury even further and want him to recover. This means that probably Kyler Murray won’t be there during the Cardinals’ game against the Washington Commanders.
The Cardinals already have a drawback of not having a good offensive line in the NFL. So, letting Murray play might prove to be a bad move as he might suffer hits during the games. When the quarterback sustained the injury, it was obvious that he’d be recovering during the 2023 season as well.
As Kyler Murray is presently on the PUP list, he can’t practice with the Cardinals. However, the star player is allowed to take part in other team activities and meetings. For now, both the Cardinals and the fans must be praying for Murray to get well soon so that he can lead the team.
