Kyler Murray Injury Update: As Reality Strikes Cardinals Ahead of the NFL 2023 Season, Arizona Entrusts 28YO QB for Glory

The NFL season is lurking just around the corner. There’s a rejuvenated excitement and anticipation amongst the fans. However, the Arizona Cardinals camp has been marred by injuries. Their intriguing quarterback conundrum keeps on intensifying. With their premier QB Kyler Murray nursing an ACL tear injury. There’s much speculation that NFL veteran Joshua Dobbs might start as the starting QB.

The Cardinals cut off Colt McCoy earlier during the pre-season. And with the side playing their first game in three day’s time. There’s little to think for the management and make some well-timed decisions.

Unlucky Kyler Murray out of action for a long time

Kyler Murray had a terrific 2022 season. But his stellar season was halted by an ACL injury he suffered late during that season. Murray also signed a five-year contract extension worth $230.5 million. The Texan and Oklahoma collegiate prides himself on his mobility. His agility stands out as he covers yards while taking the field.

Arizona’s head coach Jonathan Gannon threw his weight behind the seasoned campaigner. He expects Murray to be fit for the Week 1 games. After being placed on the Physically Unfit to Perform list (PUP). There’s a possibility that the 2X Pro Bowl winner might stay out of action for at least four weeks. Cardinals are now banking upon their recent recruit to help them out of this misery. As per sources, Joshua Dobbs- the OG QB is expected to start out during their first away fixture.

However, the Cardinals management isn’t taking any half-measures with Murray. They want a fully 100% fit jersey No. 1 on the field. There’s another serious dynamic to the Cardinals’ side. They’re one of the low-ranked offensive sides in the NFL. Moreover, with Murray’s absence, chances are Cardinals might suffer losses in the league. Now, the management has pinned their hopes on another messiah! Dobbs, the long-standing QB veteran is slated to start the season as its quarterback.

Joshua Dobbs is set to start as the starting QB for the Cardinals

Joshua Dobbs finally gets his chance on the big stage! All the Cardinals’ hopes are on the 28-year-old. With Murray sustaining an injury, it could be a great opportunity for the veteran. Dobbs however, seems unfazed with the pressure of expectations. He voiced out his opinions saying “It’s a whirlwind,” and further added. “I put starting expectations on myself. I know the QB situation will play out however the coaches see fit. For me, I am ready to compete every day.”
