Monday Night Football: Kyler Murray is inactive vs. Cowboys

Kyler Murray will not participate in Monday Night Football as the Arizona Cardinals list him among their inactives for the game against the Dallas Cowboys. Head coach Jonathan Gannon had previously announced Jacoby Brissett as the starting quarterback, although Murray was listed as questionable to serve as his backup. Murray has been sidelined since Week 5 due to a foot injury sustained in a game against the Tennessee Titans.

The Cardinals have struggled in Murray's absence, with a record of 1-17 in games he does not start and finish. The team's sole victory without Murray came against the Cowboys in 2023 when Joshua Dobbs started. Murray, who hails from Allen, Texas, boasts a 9-0 record at AT&T Stadium across high school, college, and NFL games.

In addition to Murray, the Cardinals' inactives include cornerback Elijah Jones, linebacker Xavier Thomas, offensive linemen Demontrey Jacobs and Josh Fryar, and defensive lineman Bilal Nichols.
