No Playoffs Again for the Arizona Cardinals. Now the Focus Turns to Kyler Murray's Future
The Cardinals ended their season with a 3-9 record, losing nine of 10 games amid Kyler Murray's foot injury and ongoing quarterback uncertainty.
- On Sunday, the Arizona Cardinals were eliminated from the playoff race after their fourth straight loss, shifting attention to quarterback Kyler Murray and his injured foot.
- Earlier this year Kyler Murray suffered the foot injury on Oct. 5, initially expected to sideline him for weeks but now keeping him out at least two months.
- Despite improved passing, the Cardinals keep losing tight games as veteran Jacoby Brissett averages more than 300 yards since Week 6 but fell to 1-6 as starter after Sunday's 20-17 loss.
- Head coach Jonathan Gannon said Murray won't be activated this week, signaling a coaching decision as Arizona hosts the Los Angeles Rams Sunday with several injured players potentially returning.
- The club's decade-long playoff struggles frame the decision ahead as the Cardinals have reached the playoffs just once over the past 10 seasons, sharpening questions about Kyler Murray versus Jacoby Brissett after a 2-3 start.
