Overview
- Coach Jonathan Gannon said Friday that Murray's mid‑foot injury is not progressing, noting additional tests and an out‑of‑state second opinion led to shutting him down.
- Murray was hurt in Week 5 against the Titans and placed on injured reserve Nov. 5, finishing with 962 passing yards, six touchdowns and three interceptions in five starts.
- Jacoby Brissett remains the starter for the final five games and has posted 2,188 passing yards with 13 touchdowns to four interceptions across nine appearances.
- Gannon declined to commit to Murray as the 2026 starter, and multiple reports indicate league executives see a separation or trade as a realistic offseason outcome.
- Contract mechanics loom large for Arizona, with $36.8 million guaranteed for 2026 and a $19.5 million 2027 guarantee vesting in March; a pre‑June 1 release would carry over $55 million in dead cap, while a trade is widely pegged around $17.9 million in dead money.
