Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon says Jacoby Brissett will start vs. the Seahawks despite his public endorsement of Kyler Murray

The Cardinals are placing quarterback Kyler Murray on IR because of a foot injury. Here's what to know about his timetable to return.

The Arizona Cardinals placed quarterback Kyler Murray on injured reserve Wednesday, meaning he'll miss at least four more games with a sprained foot that's sidelined him since Week 5.

Kyler Murray will now be out for at least the next four weeks. Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon told reporters in his Wednesday press conference that Murray is going to be placed on injured reserve due to his foot injury.

But now that Murray has officially been benched by the Cards for Jacoby Brissett -- his foot injury has to be a big reason here but still -- there are some fans wondering if he's finally at the point of leaving football for baseball, since he was drafted ninth overall by the Athletics in the 2018 draft.

The Arizona Cardinals are placing Kyler Murray on injured reserve with his foot injury, head coach Jonathan Gannon said on Wednesday, Nov. 5.

ARIZONA -- Kyler Murray is heading to injured reserve, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon. “He needs to get healthy," said Gannon on Wednesday. The Cardinals recently named Jacoby Brissett as the team's starting quarterback while Murray has been sidelined with a mid-foot sprain that previously kept him out for the last three games.

Jacoby Brissett will start for the Arizona Cardinals against the Seattle Seahawks. That's the right choice, regardless of Kyler Murray's health.

Today, Gannon’s assessment of Brissett and the quarterback controversy became moot when the Cardinals placed Murray on the IR list. The placement does not seem to be season-ending, as Murray will have a chance to return with a minimum of four weeks on the list.
