Kyler Murray, the star quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, is facing a setback in his season. He's been dealing with a foot injury that's just not getting better. The team's coach, Jonathan Gannon, decided to put Murray on injured reserve. This means he'll be out for at least four weeks.

Gannon explained that Murray isn't fully healthy yet. He needs more time to recover. The coach said, "He's not ready to play. We need to focus on getting him healthy first. " Murray wants to be on the field, but his injury is holding him back. Gannon added, "He's working hard, but he's not there yet. "

Jacoby Brissett will take Murray's place for now. He was already set to start in the next game against the Seahawks. The decision to put Murray on injured reserve was made after talking with him and other team members. Gannon said, "It's a collective decision. We all agreed that Murray needs more time to heal. "

Foot injuries can be tricky, especially for quarterbacks. Murray's injury affects his ability to play at his best. Gannon pointed out, "Injuries impact players differently. For Murray, this injury is keeping him from being fully healthy. " Despite this setback, Murray still has a chance to return later in the season.

This season, Murray has started five games. He's completed 68. 3 percent of his passes for 962 yards, with six touchdowns and three interceptions. Last year, he had a stronger performance, completing 68. 8 percent of his throws for 3, 851 yards, with 21 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
