Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray getting close to return
Kyler Murray has missed the last two games for the Arizona Cardinals but there appears to be optimism he could play against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray is reported to be close to making his return to action after having trained on Wednesday. An ankle injury forced Murray to missed the last two games, in which the Cardinals have gone 1-1. However, officials are confident he could play against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
"I'm pretty close," Murray told reporters. "I'm much further along than I thought I was going to be."
Murray has thrown for 2,276 yards, 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions this season. His average of 8.89 yards per attempt leads the NFL while he also has three rushing touchdowns to his name. Colt McCoy has deputised for the Cardinals in the last two games but suffered a chest injury in their loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 10.
