Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray exited the team’s Monday Night Football matchup against the New England Patriots due to a non-contact knee injury.
On the third play of the game, Murray scrambled out to his right with space to pick up some yardage.
As Murray will do with room to run, he planted his feet to make some hesitation moves.
When Murray attempted to do this, Murray quickly didn’t plant another step down after appearing to sustain the injury.
