He is a member of the Pro Football Writers of America and a graduate of Indiana University.<\/p>\n GLENDALE, Ariz. — Arizona Cardinals<\/a> quarterback Kyler Murray<\/a> said Monday that his right knee was “as close as it’s going to get” to being back to completely healthy after tearing his ACL in December 2022.<\/p>\n Murray said the effects from the injury lingered into last season, his first full season after returning midway through 2023.<\/p>\n “Now I feel like I’m back to where I was before that,” Murray said. “Obviously, my knee will probably never be the same as far as that goes.”<\/p>\n But Murray said he knew his recovery would go beyond his return to the field. After talking to other players who suffered ACL injuries, Murray learned that Year 2 after the return is typically the year “you finally feel like yourself.”<\/p>\n Editor’s Picks<\/p>\n 2 Related<\/p>\n “It’s just something you got to stay on top of,” Murray said.<\/p>\n His reconstructed knee didn’t affect his running last season. Murray rushed for 572 yards, the second most of his career, and five touchdowns.<\/p>\n Heading into his seventh season, Murray “definitely” says he believes his legs can be a weapon again in 2025.<\/p>\n Murray is in search of his second winning season as a starting quarterback and second playoff appearance since being the No. 1 pick in 2019. He said Monday he likes the depth Arizona’s brain trust built this offseason on both sides of the ball.<\/p>\n “In totality of this team,” Murray said, “this unit, I feel like, is definitely one of the best I’ve been a part of for sure.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Josh WeinfussJul 29, 2025, 09:39 AM CloseJosh Weinfuss is a staff writer who covers the Arizona Cardinals and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":28786,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,593,85],"class_list":["post-28785","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\/28785","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=28785"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28785\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28786"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28785"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28785"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28785"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
