The Arizona Cardinals have recently been in the spotlight due to the injury to their star quarterback, Kyler Murray, which opened the door for veteran Jacoby Brissett to take over as the starter. The former Patriots and Dolphins’ strong performances have many questioning what Murray’s future will look like once he’s healthy.
Monti Ossenfort, the franchise’s General Manager and one of the main voices on player matters, spoke to the press on Friday and made his stance clear regarding what will happen with the team’s top QB once he’s fully recovered.
“When we put a guy on IR, that’s four weeks away,” Ossenfort said, via ArizonaSports.com. “A lot of things can happen between now and then. I think Jacoby has done a great job of leading our offense. We’re expecting more of the same moving forward. But Jacoby’s put himself in a good spot for where we’re going offensively. When Kyler gets healthy . . . we’ll assess when we get to that point.”
The Arizona Cardinals‘ General Manager also added that the team is “gonna do everything we can to get him in a good spot to help us out come later in the season once he’s completely healthy.”
