Arizona quarterback Kyler Murray is expected to recover from his torn ACL in time for the start of the 2023 season, league sources confirmed on Sunday. According to the doctors who examined the player, Murray is expected to recover from his injury within six to eight months.
Murray suffered his injury during last Monday night’s game against the New England Patriots. The player was carted off the field upon the medical team’s realization that his injury was a significant one.
It is expected that Murray will be placed on the Cardinals’ physically unable to perform list at the start of training camp next summer, before being gradually more involved in training until he is fully fit.
Until Murray returns to action, the Cardinals are expected to rely on Colt McCoy to fill in at quarterback. McCoy also played in Murray’s stead when he picked up a hamstring injury earlier in the season.
“He could be a coach if he wanted to right now. He’d probably take my job easily. He has that type of knowledge and that type of command in the locker room,” head coach Kliff Kingsbury said of McCoy.
