Cardinals Place Kyler Murray on Injury Report Ahead Saints Opener

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has been added to the injury report ahead of the season opener against the New Orleans Saints due to an unspecified illness, but he is expected to play without any game-status designation. Despite concerns, the Cardinals posted a video signaling Murray is ready to start, and he himself expressed confidence in focusing on the present rather than worrying about Sunday’s game. Murray is entering a crucial 2025 season where he needs to prove himself as a franchise player after an uneven recent performance history, including a major ACL injury and a mixed 2023 season, though he showed statistical improvement in 2024. Last year, he completed 68.8% of his passes for 3,851 yards, 21 touchdowns, 11 interceptions, and added 572 rushing yards with five scores, reflecting his dual-threat capability. While fans and analysts remain cautiously optimistic, Murray and the Cardinals are viewed as potential NFC sleepers this season. Monitoring his health and performance in the season opener will be key for the Cardinals’ hopes moving forward.
