Now, Brissett may be starting again in Indianapolis, when the Cardinals face the Colts on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple reports indicate that, at a minimum, the Cardinals are preparing to start Brissett in place of Kyler Murray. ESPN states it more strongly, with a report that <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/adamschefter\/status\/1977183161768722902?s=46\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Brissett is expected to start<\/a>.

At some point, the Cardinals could decide to find a new quarterback.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, Murray could decide he wants a fresh start.<\/p>\n<p>Those are concerns for the future. For now, the question is whether Murray will play on Sunday. Despite the mild disconnect among the reporting, it\u2019s not looking good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When Colts quarterback Andrew Luck abruptly retired six years ago, Jacoby Brissett was thrust into the starting role.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":218250,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-218249","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218249","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=218249"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218249\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/218250"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=218249"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=218249"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=218249"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
