Cardinals HC Jonathan Gannon said the team will not open Kyler Murray’s (foot) 21-day return window this week.

Kedon Slovis will get at least one more game as Jacoby Brissett’s backup. Murray hasn’t played since Week 5 and was eventually benched for Jacoby Brissett, who outperformed Murray during his multi-week absence. Murray is under contract through the 2028 season, but there’s a good chance his time with the team will come to an end this offseason. The same can be said of Jonathan Gannon, but that’s a conversation for another day. The Cardinals don’t have anything to play for at this point, and any decisions to part with Murray could factor into whether the team decides to activate him at all over the final five weeks.
