Coming off their big win on Monday night against the Dallas Cowboys, the Arizona Cardinals are sticking with quarterback Jacoby Brissett as their starter for Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks, head coach Jonathan Gannon announced on Tuesday.
“Jacoby will start, and Kyler will keep working on his health,” Gannon said. “I do like what the offense is doing right now. We’ve operated well and we will go from there.”
As for Kyler Murray, he hasn’t played since October 5th due to a foot injury. He was a limited participant in practice las week before the team announced Brissett would start.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Murray and the Cardinals have consulted with multiple doctors on his foot injury and have been told the timetables for recovery have been anywhere from 4-8 weeks, with an increased chance of setback until it’s properly healed.
In three starts this season, Brissett is averaging 256 passing yards while throwing for six touchdowns and one interception. Murray averaged 170 passing yards per game and 6.0 yards per attempt in his five starts and threw for six touchdowns with three interceptions.
