Everything was going so good for the Arizona Cardinals, and then they played the Green Bay Packers and things went downhill, and we’re not just talking about the end of their undefeated season.
After appearing to pick up an injury during the Arizona Cardinals’ 24-21 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night, quarterback Kyler Murray suffered a sprained ankle, according to Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer.
He reportedly has an ankle injury that could take one to three weeks to heal.
“Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports that Murray suffered a sprained ankle, and that it’s a ‘1-3 week type of sprain,’” Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk wrote. “Glazer said that, if Murray arrives tomorrow at the facility and he shows that the swelling has gone down, he could play on Sunday against the 49ers.”
On the final drive of the game, the injury appeared to happen while Murray was scrambling away from pressure.

Murray will receive a couple extra days of rest thanks to the team playing on Thursday night. The Cardinals begin preparation for their Week 9 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday.
“I know he was sore today, and hopefully the next two or three days off will be good for him,” head coach Kliff Kingsbury told reporters Friday. “We’ll see where he’s at next week.”
So far in 2021, Murray has 2,276 yards, 17 touchdowns, seven interceptions, a 72.7% completion percentage, 147 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns.
