Quarterback Kyler Murray was on the practice field again on Friday, but the Cardinals aren’t willing to rule him in or out for Sunday’s game against the Rams just yet.

Murray was listed as out of practice on Wednesday because of a hamstring injury before returning to work the last two days. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury said at his Friday press conference that Murray will be a game-time decision on Sunday.

Colt McCoy will start if Murray is unable to play. Trace McSorley is on the active roster as the third quarterback.

Safety Budda Baker was also on the practice field Friday. That was unexpected given this week’s word that he’ll miss multiple games with a high ankle sprain and Kingsbury said the team will be smart about making any decision concerning playing him this weekend.

  1. The happy feet fumbling machine Kyler Murray is going to play. He’s not going to let the Cardinals see they can get better QB production for a tiny fraction of the cost.

  2. People talk about nepotism in the NFL (Jeff Saturday)and it is very prevalent. Steve Keim has used his 20 plus year friendship with Michael Bidwill who enables him to be horrible at his job. I hope Kyler Murray doesnt play. Then you will see how horrible Arizonas roster truly is. Kyler hasnt been perfect but hes been to 2 pro bowl in his first 4 years in the NFL and has carried that atrocious roster

  3. “Kyler hasnt been perfect but hes been to 2 pro bowl in his first 4 years in the NFL and has carried that atrocious roster.”

    For QB that threatened to hold out if he didn’t a new contract, got paid far more than he’s worth and earned by his play, and has performed at the level of a USFL QB I would not use the words “far from perfect” in any sentence describing his play. He is an abysmally atrocious excuse for a leader and QB. A lot of players go to Pro Bowls when far better players decline to play. Stop defending this clown and hold him accountable.

  4. It’s so easy to talk about how terrible an NFL GM is at his job, but guess what? Any NFL GM has more knowledge in their pinkies than we have in our entire consciousness.

    And GMs don’t have total control over winning.

    Keim has made plenty of mistakes, but so has every guy who has ever won NFL executive of the year.

    The fact that Kyler’s injured isn’t on Keim at all. And the fact that things have gone sideways in AZ is only partially on him.

  5. So it turns out kyler at 5’8” isn’t all that durable.

    Well-spent $135 million guaranteed. He’s Russ Wilson BEFORE the injury. Can’t cut him, good job keim. Not.

There is a huge difference between knowledge and judgment or functional intellect. Hence all the failures in front offices around the league.

  7. Kyler’s bruised ego is rubbing his hammy the wrong way. If there’s anyone in the league who needs a “re-discover your love of the game” montage, it’s Kyler Murray. He has clearly got talent. But, from the outside, it looks like the pressure is making him hate the job. If this were a movie, he’d go back to his childhood home or neighborhood and get knocked down a peg by his old friends only to rediscover that he can play backyard ball better than most and then return to the NFL re-energized. As this is NOT a movie, I’m glad my Seahawks are leading the division and Kyler can keep frowning all the time.
