Kyler Murray didn’t have a great 2022 season and it appears that 2023 might be much of the same. The quarterback has received more information about his injury and unfortunately, it is more severe than what the Arizona Cardinals thought it was.
Murray’s late 2022 injury is going to play a big role in his 2023 season. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Arizona Cardinals quarterback is expected to miss the start of next season as he rehabs his torn left ACL and meniscus.
Murray might not return to the field until halfway through the 2023 season.
“My understanding is he is going to take his time and make sure this thing is 100 percent right,” Rapoport said on NFL Network. “He is young. He’s got a long career. He’s not going to rush, so do not be surprised if we don’t see him to start the season or maybe even by the midway point. This injury has to heal perfectly.”
Murray’s injury occurred in Week 14 against the New England Patriots, just three games before the end of a disastrous season.

This spells huge for a team that ended the season with a 4-13 record at the bottom of the NFC West. The team did not look too particularly good in any game this season and it ultimately led to them firing their head coach.
The Cardinals were 4-9 in games Murray started in 2022. Huge changes are coming in the form of a new head coach and a new offensive system. Not only that, the team is reportedly trying to trade standout WR Deandre Hopkins.
The Cardinals will have to start the season with someone else at quarterback while Murray rehabs. It feels as if the team is headed into a rebuild without actually saying it.
