Arizona Cardinals head coach Johnathan Gannon praised quarterback Kyler Murray’s preparation amid his eventual return to the field while speaking to reporters on Wednesday.
‘Fired up and ready to go,’ Gannon said when asked about Murray’s attitude as he prepares to play for the first time in 11 months.
Murray is entering his third week of practice after missing the start of the year recovering from a torn ACL he sustained at the end of last season.
Really good in the team meeting today. I put him in the spot. He was excellent,’ Gannon also said as he praised his signal caller.
Although it is considered unlikely, Murray has a slim chance to take the field for the first time this season in Sunday’s matchup against the Cleveland Browns.
If Murray does not make his return against the Browns this week then he will likely take the field against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10.
Arizona is set to start rookie QB Clayton Tune if Murray does not suit up against Cleveland.
The Cardinals drafted Tune in the fifth round with the No. 139 overall pick.
Despite looking good in practice it may be in Murray’s best interest to hold off on his first start of 2023 until the game against the Falcons so that he can ensure himself a full four weeks of practice before returning to action.
A full four weeks would give Murray the equivalent of an entire preseason to ramp himself up to full speed, minus the exhibition games against other teams.
