The Arizona Cardinals Pro Bowl quarterback Kyler Murray is “right on schedule” while working his way back from an ACL injury he suffered in December. This was revealed by the team’s new head coach Jonathan Gannon in a recent chat with the reporters.
“He’s doing great,” Gannon told reporters when asked about Murray. “He’s doing what he needs to do and right on schedule.”
The initial reports after Murray’s surgery suggested that the 25-year-old player won’t be back in time to start the 2023 season. Gannon didn’t confirm or deny this, saying that there is no timetable for the player’s return and that he will play when he’s “fully healthy.”
“I’m not going to put a timetable on that right now,” Gannon added. “Whenever Kyler is fully healthy to play, that’s when he’ll play.”
Kyler Murray arguably had his worst season as a pro in 2022, throwing for 2,368 yards and 14 touchdowns in 11 games. The Cardinals were 3-8 with him as a starter and finished the season with a 4-13 record.
After a disappointing campaign, the Cardinals’ ownership decided to fire head coach Kliff Kingsbury. After a lengthy search, they settled on Gannon, hoping the 40-year-old, who served as the Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator for the past two years, can get the franchise back to winning ways.
