The Arizona Cardinals already have their backs against the wall. They're 2-3 on the season, currently the only team in the NFC West with a record under .500.
They can't really afford to slip up any further, but the latest injury news for Kyler Murray may have just made that more difficult.
The Cardinals have a challenging matchup looming on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, and Murray's status is in doubt.
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Murray isn't going to practice on Wednesday. He has a foot injury.

Murray's backup is Jacoby Brissett, who once played for the Colts and could get a chance at his former team if Murray has to miss Week 6.
The Cardinals would much rather have their franchise quarterback on the field, of course.
So far this season, Murray has completed 68.3% of his passes. He has 962 passing yards in five games, with six touchdowns compared to three interceptions.
Murray has also run 29 times for 173 yards and another TD.

The Cardinals are coming off an absolutely brutal loss. They were up big on the Titans when Emari Demercado failed to complete his long touchdown run, and the Cardinals never scored again as Tennessee came back to win on a field goal at the buzzer.
Arizona needs to find a way to bounce back. It's three losses in a row after starting the season 2-0.
Without Murray, that task would be that much tougher. So his injury status the rest of the week looms large for the Cardinals.
