"The Arizona Cardinals are preparing quarterback Kyler Murray to start Monday night against the Dallas Cowboys, coach Jonathan Gannon said Thursday. Murray missed Arizona's past two games with a foot injury and was able to rest it longer during the Cardinals' bye last week. When asked what the milestones are for Arizona to know Murray is ready to play, Gannon said: "Get him fully healthy, play.""
"However, Gannon said there's not an advantage for Arizona to not officially naming a starter until later in the week. Gannon said the extra week of rest was beneficial for "everybody," and not just Murray. He thought Tuesday's pace in the offense vs. defense portion of practice was "really good." "You start playing games and the train's rolling I think for everybody," Gannon said. "They're rested and it looks a little bit different, so it was very beneficial.""
Kyler Murray will start Monday night against the Dallas Cowboys. Murray missed Arizona's past two games with a foot injury and rested during the Cardinals' bye week. The team indicated there was no competitive advantage to naming a starter early in the week. The extra week of rest was described as beneficial for everybody, with the offense-vs-defense portion of practice showing a strong pace on Tuesday. Practice momentum returned as the team resumed game-speed work. After starting 2-0, Arizona has lost five straight games and currently sits last in the NFC West.
