Despite being on injured reserve for the minimum of four games, Kyler Murray’s practice window will not open this week, Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon told reporters Monday.
Out since Oct. 5 with a foot injury, Murray was eligible this week to begin a 21-day practice window to start the process to be elevated from injured reserve.
“He’s not quite there yet,” Gannon said of Murray.
Murray last played in a 22-21 Week 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans. He was not placed on IR until Nov. 5, exactly a month later, after attempting to practice through the injury.
With Murray out once again, Jacoby Brissett will be the Cardinals’ starting quarterback this week as Arizona (3-9) takes on the Los Angeles Rams (9-3).
Brissett, 32, is 1-6 as the Cardinals’ starter this season, throwing for 2,188 yards, 13 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. Kedon Slovis will continue to serve as the backup.
