Cardinals' Kyler Murray gets lackluster injury update ahead of Week 6 vs. Colts image

The Arizona Cardinals have a question mark when it comes to Kyler Murray's status for the Week 6 game against the Indianapolis Colts.

Murray came down with a foot injury in the Week 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans, although he was able to finish up the game after exiting briefly.

However, Murray's status is up in the air for this week, especially after it was revealed that Murray wouldn't practice on Wednesday.

"[Arizona Cardinals] QB Kyler Murray, dealing with a foot injury, is not expected to practice today. An injury to watch," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport wrote.

“If he’s healthy enough to play, he’ll play," head coach Jonathan Gannon said of Murray on Wednesday.

When asked about his status for the upcoming game after the loss to the Titans, Murray simply replied with a "we gotta see," which is understandable given how early in the process it was at that point.

That said, the fact that Murray didn't reassure reporters that he would be ready to go for the game against the Colts suggests even he isn't certain he's going to play.

If Murray is forced to miss the contest on Sunday, it will be the first game he misses since 2023 after he played in all 17 contests in 2024.

On Arizona's depth chart, veteran Jacoby Brissett is listed as the backup, so he'll get the football if Murray is sidelined. Brissett is a solid backup, but not somebody the Cardinals can rely upon for long.

Arizona will release its first injury report of the week later Wednesday, but right now it looks like Murray will be listed as a non-participant.

Once that happens, we'll turn our attention to Thursday to see if Murray can make any progress with just days to go until the Colts game.
