Cardinals ‍Name Jacoby Brissett Starting Quarterback, Bench Kyler Murray

The Arizona Cardinals have announced a change⁣ at quarterback, naming jacoby Brissett the starter moving forward, head coach Jonathan Gannon revealed today. Kyler Murray will be relegated to the bench, initially due to a foot injury with a recovery timetable of 4-8 weeks, though Gannon indicated a healthy murray would‍ not instantly⁤ regain the starting role.

The decision comes as ⁣Murray has struggled this season, while Brissett led the Cardinals to a recent victory against the Dallas Cowboys, scoring 27 points in that game. While initial reports suggested the move was⁤ performance-based, the team later cited Murray’s ongoing ⁣recovery as a factor. However, Gannon clarified that even when fully healthy, Brissett will remain the Cardinals’ starting quarterback.

Brissett will make his frist start against the Seattle seahawks this Sunday⁤ at 1:05 PM MST‍ at Lumen‍ Field.He has ​faced Seattle once previously, ⁢in 2017 as a member of the​ Indianapolis Colts, a 46-18 loss. The Seahawks also defeated Brissett and the New England ⁣Patriots 23-20 in overtime last year ‌during a game played in Foxboro.

The Cardinals, who ​entered the season with high expectations, are hoping the quarterback change will provide a spark to turn around thier⁢ struggling season.
