Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Kyler Murray will be suiting up for the 2019 season finale against the Los Angeles Rams.

Murray (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and was a gametime decision.

However, the Cardinals will be without tight end Charles Clay, as a calf injury kept him out of practice all week.

Arizona’s other inactives include: WR KeeSean Johnson, CB Andre Chachere, S Deionte Thompson, LB Vontarrius Dora, OL Lamont Gaillard and OL Joshua Miles.

For the Rams, they will be without All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey, who was ruled out on Tuesday due to a knee injury.

Los Angeles’ other inactives include: CB Troy Hill, S Jake Gervase, LB Ogbo Okoronkwo, OL Jamil Demby, OL Rob Havenstein and TE Kendall Blanton

The Cardinals come into Sunday’s contest looking to end the season with their second three-game winning streak of the year and finish with a 6-9-1 record, a 3.5-game improvement from 2018.

But that’s not the only feat the team will have its eyes on.

Murray comes into the game having thrown for 3,397 yards and 18 touchdowns while adding 544 yards for four scores on the ground in his rookie campaign.

Should he surpass the 3,500-yard mark, the 22-year-old will join Cam Newton as the only rookies to throw for over 3,500 yards and rush for over 500 in the same season.

Newton was crowned as the Offensive Rookie of the Year following his 2011 campaign.
