Arizona Cardinals backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett will start a third straight game Monday night against the Dallas Cowboys, coach Jonathan Gannon said Saturday.
Gannon said starting quarterback Kyler Murray’s foot injury isn’t healthy enough for Murray to get the start, though Gannon added that Arizona will see over the next 48 hours if Murray could have a role on game day.
“He is getting better,” Gannon said. “He’s had some more work this last week, but like I said, he’s just not ready to go yet. But as far as, obviously, that position’s a little bit different because you got to have a plan ready. That’s why I’m just saying Jacoby’s starting, but if [Murray] can have a role, he can have a role, but you take it one day at a time.
“But I know he wants to be out there and he is doing everything he can. It’s just he’s not quite there yet.”
With the trade deadline looming Tuesday, Gannon said the decision to not start Murray was purely health related.
