TEMPE, Ariz. — The Arizona Cardinals<\/a> are preparing quarterback Kyler Murray<\/a> to start Monday night against the Dallas Cowboys<\/a>, coach Jonathan Gannon said Thursday.<\/p>\n

Murray missed Arizona’s last two games with a foot injury and was able to rest it longer during the Cardinals’ bye last week.<\/p>\n

When asked what the milestones are for Arizona to know Murray is ready to play, Gannon said: “Get him fully healthy, play.”<\/p>\n

However, Gannon said there’s not an advantage for Arizona to not officially naming a starter until later in the week.<\/p>\n

Gannon said the extra week of rest was beneficial for “everybody,” and not just Murray. He thought Tuesday’s pace in the offense vs. defense portion of practice was “really good.”<\/p>\n

“You start playing games and the train’s rolling I think for everybody,” Gannon said. “They’re rested and it looks a little bit different, so it was very beneficial.”<\/p>\n

After starting 2-0, Arizona has lost its last five games and sits last in the NFC West.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Josh WeinfussOct 30, 2025, 01:57 PM ET CloseJosh Weinfuss is a staff writer who covers the Arizona Cardinals…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":251417,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,593,85],"class_list":["post-251416","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251416","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=251416"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251416\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/251417"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=251416"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=251416"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=251416"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
