The Arizona Cardinals placed cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting on the reserve/non-football injury list on Thursday, a move that will apparently end his 2025 season.
Neither the Cardinals nor Murphy-Bunting’s representatives have detailed what occurred.
A team can place players on the NFI list for injuries unrelated to football or injuries that didn’t occur during NFL games and practices.
Murphy-Bunting started 15 of 15 games played for the Cardinals last season and matched his career high of three interceptions. He had 52 tackles and two forced fumbles.
Murphy-Bunting, who turns 28 next month, has played 82 games (65 starts) over six seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2019-22), Tennessee Titans (2023) and Cardinals. He has 11 interceptions, returning one for a touchdown in 2019, along with 297 tackles, 34 passes defensed and eight forced fumbles. He was a second-round pick by Tampa Bay in the 2019 draft.
Arizona selected promising cornerback Will Johnson of Michigan in the second round of the 2025 draft. Johnson was considered a possible Top 10 pick prior to the 2024 season but slid down draft boards due to a knee issue.
