Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray is set to undergo an MRI scan along with other tests on Tuesday after incurring a knee injury.
Murray picked up the noncontact knee injury less than 90 seconds into the Cardinals’ 27-13 loss to the New England Patriots on Monday night. The player collapsed after a three-yard run during the third play of the game. The player had not come into any other players leading up to his collapse.
“Anytime you see a noncontact injury, you know it’s worse right away,” teammate DeAndre Hopkins commented.” That hurt. Kyler put a lot into this. He’s been preparing his butt off to get back after the hamstring, so for that to happen, I hate that for him. I know he’ll recover and get back to himself.”
Following his collapse, Murray was given on-field treatment by the Cardinals’ athletic trainers and doctors. Upon closer inspection, they decided to cart him off the field immediately, transporting him to the team locker room.
Backup quarterback Colt McCoy played in Murray’s absence, throwing for 246 yards on 27-of-40 passing with an interception.
