Cardinals’ Kyler Murray inactive, Jacoby Brissett to start vs. Colts

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett will start in place of Kyler Murray for Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts.

The franchise signal caller was officially ruled out for the matchup with a foot injury picked up in last week’s loss to the Tennessee Titans.

Murray entered Sunday as questionable on Friday with the foot issue.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported on Saturday that Murray’s injury is a mid-foot sprain and that there’s a possibility he could be out beyond the Colts game.

The Cardinals also signed quarterback Kedon Slovis on Saturday from the practice squad to add to the depth of the quarterback room.

Brissett has made 53 career starts across 10 seasons with the New England Patriots, Colts, Miami Dolphins, Cleveland Browns and Washington Commanders, throwing for 11,400 yards and 53 touchdowns.

Additionally, cornerback Elijah Jones, defensive linemen Darius Robinson (pec) and Bilal Nichols (personal), offensive linemen Demontrey Jacobs and Josh Fryar and wide receiver Xavier Weaver are inactive.

The good news for the Cardinals is that wide receiver Zay Jones, cornerback Max Melton and linebackers Cody Simon and Mack Wilson Sr. are active after entering the matchup as questionable.
