Hoping to run less this year
Murray believes his running ability "should be a luxury" for the Arizona offense, rather than a crucial component the way it was last season, ESPN.com's Josh Weinfuss reports.
Analysis: Fantasy managers were thrilled with his 133/819/11 rushing line, a big step forward after Murray put up 93/544/4 as a rookie. He hopes the team won't need him to run quite as much moving forward, in part because it's harder to do so when he's banged up. Murray does have a little more help in the pass-catching department this year, with the Cardinals bringing in 33-year-old A.J. Green and rookie second-round pick Rondale Moore, while James Conner replaces Kenyan Drake (LVR) in the backfield. The…read more

Injury lingers, won't need surgery
Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Monday that Murray (ankle) still is limping but won't require offseason surgery, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis: Murray managed to retake the field despite injuring his ankle during Sunday's 18-7 loss to the Rams, but he clearly was hobbled upon doing so in the fourth quarter. That the second-year pro won't require surgery should bode well for his chances of making a full recovery in time for Arizona's offseason program. The 23-year-old emerged as a bonafide fantasy superstar this season, in no small part due to the 819 rushing yards and 11 scores he accumulated on the ground. Murray also took a step…read more

Retakes field, but held scoreless
Murray (ankle) completed eight of 11 passes for 87 yards while rushing for three yards on a pair of carries during Sunday's 18-7 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Murray had to exit Sunday's contest after absorbing a sack from Los Angeles' Morgan Fox on the opening drive, and he didn't retake the field until the 14:21 mark of the fourth quarter. Powering through his ankle injury, the first-time Pro Bowler demonstrated toughness in attempting to lead his team back in a must-win situation. Murray and the Cardinals' offense couldn't muster any scores over his final two drives, however, with the team's only trip inside Los Angeles' 40-yard line resulting in…read more

Back in Sunday's game
Murray (ankle) returned to Sunday's contest against the Rams.
Analysis: After Murray injured his ankle on the first drive of the game, he spent most of the next three quarters in the locker room or on the sideline throwing passes and operating a stationary bike while Chris Streveler generated seven points on the next eight possessions. Murray will look to put together a comeback effort.

Picks up ankle injury
Murray suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's road game versus the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Murray emerged from Week 16 with what was termed a lower leg issue, and he now has left the regular-season finale with an injury in that region. He's questionable to return, but if he doesn't rejoin his teammates on the field, Chris Streveler will lead the Cardinals offense.

Leaves field Sunday
Murray (undisclosed) went to the locker room during Sunday's road game against the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Murray hobbled off the field, which may indicate he aggravated the lower leg injury that he sustained Week 16 against the 49ers. While Murray's status is unknown, the Cardinals will hand over the keys to the offense to his backup Chris Streveler.

Puts in full practice
Murray (leg) practiced fully Wednesday, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis: During the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Murray participated in a scrambling drill, a good sign as he works through the lower leg injury he suffered in Saturday's loss to the 49ers. He proceeded to do enough for him to log an uncapped session, setting him up to helm the Cardinals offense, per usual, this weekend against the Rams. In three career matchups versus Los Angeles, Murray has averaged 220.3 passing yards per game while tossing five touchdowns versus four…read more

Expecting to play Week 17
Murray (lower leg) expects to suit up Sunday against the Rams in Los Angeles, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Murray managed some reps at Wednesday's practice, taking part in a scrambling drill, according to Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site. Wednesday's injury report will reveal exactly how much work Murray was able to handle, but he appears to be putting himself in a position to play this weekend after sustaining a lower leg issue in last weekend's loss to the 49ers.

Spotted at practice
Murray (lower leg) is participating in the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Murray was spotted taking reps during a scrambling drill, a hint that the lower leg injury he sustained in last weekend's loss to the 49ers isn't a major concern. How well the star signal-caller holds up in practice this week will no doubt play a major role in determining his availability for Sunday's must-win road game against the Rams.

Expected at practice
Murray (lower leg) is expected to participate in practice Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Murray suffered what appeared to be a significant lower leg injury on the final drive of last weekend's loss to the 49ers, but head coach Kliff Kingsbury has since said that he's "hopeful" the second-year signal-caller will be available Week 17. If Murray is indeed able to handle at least limited reps to begin the practice week, it will bode well for his chances of facing the Rams on Sunday.

Injury news optimistic
Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Monday that he's "hopeful" Murray (lower leg) will "be in position to play" against the Rams in Week 17, Kevin Zimmerman of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Analysis: Kingsbury didn't provide more specifics of Murray's injury, per Zimmerman, other than calling it a lower leg issue. The second-year pro suffered the injury on the final drive of Saturday's 20-12 loss to the 49ers, and while it initially appeared worrisome, it now looks like he's avoided a severe issue. Arizona requires a win over the Rams on Sunday for any chance of getting into the playoffs, so Murray will no doubt do his best to suit up. Of course, if he's not at full health it could impede…read more

Seemingly escapes severe injury
Murray (leg), who suffered an injury on the last drive of Saturday's 20-12 loss to the 49ers and stayed down for several moments, is expected to be okay, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Analysis: Murray was leg-whipped and appeared to be in some pain before being helped off the field by teammates and staff, though he stayed on the sideline rather than going to the locker room. Before the injury, he struggled while completing 31 of 50 pass attempts for 247 yards (4.9 yards per attempt) with one interception and no touchdowns. He added 75 yards on eight carries but also took three sacks in this disappointing performance. Murray will certainly undergo testing over the next couple of days…read more

Notches new career high in yardage
Murray completed 27 of 36 pass attempts for 406 yards, three touchdowns and one interception while carrying eight times for 29 yards and another touchdown in Sunday's 33-26 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Murray completed 75 percent of his passes and averaged a stellar 11.3 yards per attempt as he notched a new career high in yardage. He completed five passes of 25 yards or longer and connected with DeAndre Hopkins for the decisive 20-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Murray, who averaged just 195.7 yards per game over the last three while struggling through a shoulder issue, has seemingly gotten back on track. He will look to build on this effort next Saturday against the 49ers.

Modest numbers in easy win
Murray completed 24 of 35 passes for 244 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Giants. He added 47 yards on 13 rushing attempts.
Analysis: Arizona's offense has struggled near the goal line recently, and those issues continued in this game, as Murray capped the team's opening drive with a fourth-down incompletion from New York's one-yard line. He finally guided the offense across the goal line on Arizona's fourth red-zone possession of the first half, finding Dan Arnold in the back of the end zone with a rainbow from seven yards out. New York's defense did a good job of limiting Murray's running lanes, but it was still encouraging…read more

Tosses three TDs in loss
Murray completed 21 of 39 passes for 173 yards and three touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 38-28 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: While he found the end zone three times with his arm, it was otherwise another disappointing effort from Murray, as his INT was taken the other way for a 35-yard TD by Troy Hill late in the fourth quarter while the Cards were trying to mount a comeback. Perhaps more distressingly for anyone with fantasy shares in the second-year QB, he once again produced little on the ground, gaining only 15 rushing yards on five carries. Until his shoulder is closer to 100 percent, Murray's scrambling…read more

Murray (right shoulder) practiced fully Thursday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Murray is tending to an injury to his right throwing shoulder, which capped his practice reps Wednesday. That said, he handled all of them one day later, allowing him to gear up for Sunday's matchup against a Rams pass defense that has mostly contained opposing quarterbacks this season (203.5 yards given up per game, third in the NFL).

Puts in limited practice
Murray (shoulder) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Murray continues to get weekly maintenance of his right shoulder after injuring it in a Nov. 19 loss at Seattle. Ahead of last week's loss to New England, he logged limited showings on the first two injury reports before practicing in full Friday. Murray continued his streak of playing every offensive snap in the contest, but he also fell shy of 200 yards passing for the third time this season and failed to throw or run for a touchdown. Assuming he follows a similar practice regimen this week,…read more

No TDs in Week 12 loss
Murray completed 23 of 34 passes for 170 yards and an interception while adding five carries for 31 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Murray had a would-be touchdown to KeeSean Johnson just before halftime ruled short on replay, and the Cardinals ended up going without points on the drive after another tough spot went against them on the next play. Tipped passes have been a problem recently for the diminutive quarterback, and he was intercepted on such a play in the third quarter, leading to New England's go-ahead touchdown on the ensuing possession.

Cleared to play
Murray (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Murray upgraded to full participation at Friday's practice after logging limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. It's still possible the AC joint injury has some impact on his performance, but the Cardinals don't seem too worried about it, nor did Murray when he was asked about his shoulder after last week's loss to Seattle. He's locked in as one of the top fantasy options at QB, with his running ability creating A+ upside even when Murray is imperfect as a passer.

Cardinals GM Steve Keim expects Murray (shoulder) to play in Sunday's game against the Patriots, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Murray downplayed the impact of an AC joint injury in his throwing shoulder after last Thursday's loss to the Seahawks, but he's been limited in practice so far this week. It sounds like he's on track to play, even if his arm strength won't quite be at the usual level.

Limited again Thursday
Murray (shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Murray toughed out an AC joint injury in his right throwing shoulder during last Thursday's loss at Seattle, but he still managed 269 yards and two touchdowns through the air. On the ground, though, he recorded season lows with five carries for 15 yards. With back-to-back capped practices to begin Week 12 prep, he doesn't seem to be in danger of missing Sunday's game at New England. Friday's injury report could clarify his status.

Analysis: The Cardinals are still managing Murray's practice reps due to the AC joint injury in his right shoulder that he sustained during last week's loss to the Seahawks, but the team hasn't yet offered any hints that the second-year quarterback is in any real danger of missing time.

Analysis: Murray is still recovering from the AC joint injury to his right shoulder that he suffered in last week's loss to the Seahawks, but at this stage, the issue isn't expected to sideline him for the Cardinals' Nov. 29 game in New England. The Cardinals won't release their first official Week 12 injury report until Wednesday, at which point the extent of Murray's participation in practice will be clear.

Not too worried about shoulder
Murray suffered an AC joint injury to his throwing shoulder during Thursday's loss to Seattle, but the Cardinals expect him to be fine for their next game Nov. 29 against the Patriots, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Murray was checked out by the medical staff at least once or twice during Thursday's game, but he never missed a snap and still managed to throw for 269 yards and a pair of touchdowns. While a lack of rushing production made it his worst performance of the season from a fantasy standpoint, Murray downplayed his shoulder injury after the contest, simply saying "I'm good" when reporters asked him about it, per Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official website.

Productive fantasy effort in loss
Murray completed 29 of 42 passes for 269 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Cardinals' 28-21 loss to the Seahawks on Thursday night. He also rushed five times for 15 yards.
Analysis: Murray's ledger ultimately corroborates a mistake-free effort, but he was still directly involved in a couple of plays that proved pivotal to the Seahawks' win. The 23-year-old signal-caller was charged with intentional grounding deep in his own end on the first play of an early fourth-quarter drive with Arizona trailing by just two points, and J.R. Sweezy was subsequently whistled for holding in the end zone a play later, resulting in a safety. Murray also took a sack at Seattle's 33-yard line…read more

Last-minute heroics against Bills
Murray completed 22 of 32 passes for 245 yards and one touchdown with one interception while carrying the ball 11 times for 61 yards and two more TDs in Sunday's 32-30 win over the Bills.
Analysis: The one touchdown pass immediately went down as one of the greatest plays in Cardinals history -- on the final play of the game, Murray avoided pressure and heaved a 43-yard hail mary into the end zone that DeAndre Hopkins came down with despite triple coverage. The second-year QB already has 10 rushing touchdowns through nine games in addition to his impressive numbers through the air, and Murray figures to pad his totals further in Week 11 against a porous Seahawks defense.

Accounts for four TDs in loss
Murray completed 21 of 26 pass attempts for 283 yards and three touchdowns Sunday against the Dolphins. He also carried 11 times for 106 yards and another touchdown in the 34-31 loss.
Analysis: The defeat was no fault of Murray's, as he averaged a healthy 10.9 yards per attempt and completed 81 percent of his passes. He threw touchdown passes to three different receivers and added another one on the ground as he racked up a new career high in rushing yards. Perhaps his only misstep was a fumble that was returned for a touchdown on the first drive of the game, which ultimately made the difference in a narrow loss. Coming off perhaps his most complete performance of the season, Murray…read more

Accounts for four TDs in OT win
Murray completed 34 of 48 pass attempts for 360 yards, three touchdowns and an interception while adding 14 carries for 67 yards and another touchdown in Sunday's 37-34 overtime win over Seattle.
Analysis: Murray put the team on his back in a crucial NFC West showdown and outdueled early MVP candidate Russell Wilson on a national stage. The 2019 first overall pick continues to make strides as a passer following a promising rookie campaign, posting a 66.9 completion percentage, 2,207 passing yards and a 13:7 TD:INT ratio.

Murray completed nine of 24 pass attempts for 188 yards and two touchdowns, adding 74 rushing yards and one rushing TD on 10 carries during Monday's 38-10 win against the Cowboys.
Analysis: After winning three state titles for nearby Allen High School, Murray made his first trip to AT&T Stadium as a pro. The 23-year-old signal-caller may have completed a career-low nine passes during the contest, but he still made plenty of big plays. In addition to another electrifying performance on the ground, Murray connected with Christian Kirk for an 80-yard TD at the 4:43 mark of the second quarter, and he also found DeAndre Hopkins for a 60-yard gain on his first completion of the second…read more

Sets new career high in win
Murray completed 27 of 37 passes for a career-high 380 yards and one touchdown with one interception, adding 31 rushing yards and a TD on nine carries, in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.
Analysis: The Cardinals found the end zone in every quarter as Murray kept the offense humming, capping his afternoon with two long bombs to DeAndre Hopkins that accounted for 82 yards and a TD. Murray is only the third quarterback in history to throw for at least five touchdowns and run for at least five touchdowns through his team's first five games of the season, joining Cam Newton and Kordell Stewart. He should be able to pad those totals significantly in Week 6 against a reeling Cowboys defense.

Three touchdown passes
Murray completed 24 of 31 pass attempts for 133 yards and three touchdowns in Week 4 against Carolina. He added 78 rushing yards.
Analysis: Murray didn't deliver a gaudy yardage total, averaging only 4.3 yards per attempt. However, he did salvage his performance by recording at least three passing touchdowns for the first time this season -- each which came within three yards of the end zone. Positively, Murray remained dangerous with his legs, as he broke off a 48-yard run to highlight his third performance this season with over 50 rushing yards.

Commits three turnovers in loss
Murray completed 23 of 35 pass attempts for 270 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions Sunday against the Lions. He also carried five times for 29 yards and a touchdown in the 26-23 loss.
Analysis: Murray completed 66 percent of his passes, but two interceptions on his opening three drives put his team in an early hole. He completed a pair of touchdowns to Andy Isabella and scored his fourth rushing touchdown in three games, but it ultimately wasn't enough to win after his early struggles. Murray had been excellent as both a passer and a runner in the first two games of the season and will look to get back on track next Sunday against the Panthers.

Runs wild against Washington
Murray completed 26 of 38 passes for 286 yards with a touchdown and an interception while rushing for 67 yards and two TDs on eight carries in Sunday's 30-15 win over Washington.
Analysis: The second-year pivot once again did a lot of damage with his legs, rushing for a 14-yard score at the end of the first quarter and then a 21-yard TD early in the fourth, but he was nearly as impressive with his arm, finding both Andy Isabella and Christian Kirk on receptions of longer than 40 yards in addition to plenty of completions to DeAndre Hopkins and Larry Fitzgerald underneath.

He still completed 65 percent of his passes, however, and notably connected 14 times with new wideout weapon DeAndre Hopkins.

Adds muscle in offseason
Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Wednesday that Murray put on some weight during the offseason, Mike Jurecki of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Listed at 5-foot-10 and 207 pounds, Murray has the same approximate body type as division rival Russell Wilson. The second-year pro may be the shortest starting quarterback in the league, but his ability to withstand hits doesn't seem to be a major point of concern. While their offensive line remains a potential weak point, the Cardinals could take a big step forward on offense with DeAndre Hopkins climbing aboard for Year 2 of the Kingsbury/Murray project.

Gets another weapon
The Cardinals provided Murray with another proven wide receiver following the acquisition of DeAndre Hopkins from the Texans.

Impresses as rookie
Murray concluded his rookie season completing 64.4 percent of his passes for 3,722 yards, 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions while turning 93 carries into 544 yards and four more TDs in 16 games.
Analysis: With such a stat line, Murray joined Cam Newton from 2011 as the only rookie signal-callers to surpass 3,500 yards through the air and 500 yards as a rusher. Murray also had eight contests with two or more passing touchdowns, five 300-yard performances and a streak of 211 passes in a row without an interception.

Analysis: Limited all week due to a right hamstring injury, Murray was termed a game-time decision by coach Kliff Kingsbury. His availability was contingent on a pregame workout, in which he must have performed well enough for the training staff to sign off on his status. In his first faceoff with the Rams this season, Murray completed 19 of 34 passes for 163 yards and one interception while running four times for 28 yards and a TD.

Seemingly on track to play
Murray (hamstring), who remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The Cardinals are still essentially viewing Murray as a game-time decision leading up to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, but the rookie's strained right hamstring apparently didn't prove too problematic for him while he worked out earlier in the day. Unless Murray experiences a setback during pregame warmups, he should garner the starting nod and put a cap on what has been a mostly positive rookie season. Through his first 15 outings, Murray has completed 64.6 percent of his attempts for 3,397 yards…read more

Still viewed as game-time call
Murray (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, is viewed as a true game-time decision, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Rapoport's report essentially aligns with what coach Kliff Kingsbury said Friday about Murray, who ceded most of the reps to No. 2 quarterback Brett Hundley during practice this week. Even with little at stake for the non-contending Cardinals in the finale, Kingsbury previously said that he wanted Murray to suit up if the hamstring cooperates, as the coach believes having the rookie play in the matchup with a divisional opponent is a good developmental opportunity. Those considering Murray in…read more

Officially deemed questionable
Murray (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Coach Kliff Kingsbury suggested the rookie is truly questionable and will be a game-day decision, though other signs point toward Murray sitting in Week 17 absence. Brett Hundley took most of the reps at quarterback during practices this week, and the Cardinals called up another signal-caller from the practice squad Friday in Drew Anderson. There's no guarantee of a final answer before the Cardinals release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.…read more

Headed for game-time call
Murray (hamstring) is expected to be a game-day decision for Sunday's contest against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Coach Kliff Kingsbury said he isn't sure if Murray will be ready to play and also mentioned that Brett Hundley has taken most of the practice reps this week, while quarterback Drew Anderson has been promoted from the practice squad. While none of that sounds promising, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site thought Murray was moving around without much trouble during Friday's practice. Ultimately, the Cardinals aren't in the mix for a playoff spot, so it wouldn't make sense to play Murray…read more

Officially limited Thursday
Murray (hamstring) was limited in practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Murray has yet to progress to a 'full' showing in practice this week, the result of a hamstring injury. In particular, he was seen throwing on the side Tuesday before fitting in some individual drills Thursday, according to Scott Bordow of The Athletic. Ultimately, Murray's activity level Friday will go a long way in coach Kliff Kingsbury's decision-making process for Sunday's season finale against the Rams in L.A.

Practicing Thursday
Murray (hamstring) participated in a handful of drills, but not all of them, during the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, Scott Bordow of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: On Tuesday, Murray was contained to throwing before leaving the field once the session kicked off. Still, the activity was enough for the rookie signal-caller to be listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimate, according to Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site. Considering his workload so far Thursday, Murray seems poised to have a cap on his reps again, but the Cardinals' second Week 17 injury report will reveal how much he was able to handle.

Limited on first practice report
Arizona lists Murray (hamstring) as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Due to the holiday, the Cardinals held their first Week 17 practice Tuesday, with Murray only taking part in individual drills that day. As such, Murray's limited listing on the team's initial practice report comes as little surprise, but the quarterback still has two more days to increase his activity level. Despite little being on the line for Arizona in Sunday's season finale against the Rams, coach Kliff Kingsbury has said that Murray will start the contest if the hamstring isn't an issue…read more

Not much activity Tuesday
Murray threw passes but didn't participate in individual drills at the portion of Tuesday's unofficial practice open to the media, Scott Bordow of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Cardinals won't reveal Murray's activity level until they post Wednesday's injury report, but it appears his minor right hamstring strain will keep him to either LP or DNP. There's no reason to believe Murray won't be under center Sunday against the Rams in L.A., but Brett Hundley is next in line for reps if the rookie can't suit up.

To practice Tuesday
Murray (hamstring) is expected to take part in Tuesday's unofficial practice, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Cardinals removed Murray during the third quarter of Week 16's eventual win at Seattle due to a hamstring issue. An MRI on Monday revealed the rookie quarterback only "tweaked" his right hamstring, per coach Kliff Kingsbury, who called it a minor strain. The team won't release an injury report for the season finale until Wednesday, at which point Murray's activity level will become clearer.

MRI yields promising results
The MRI that Murray underwent Monday on his right hamstring injury revealed only a minor strain, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Fortunately for Murray, he avoided a significant injury after exiting in the third quarter of Sunday's 27-13 win over the Seahawks, but the Cardinals still intend to take a wait-and-see approach with the signal-caller in advance of their Dec. 29 season finale versus the Rams. Coach Kliff Kingsbury noted earlier Monday that Murray will play Week 17 if healthy enough to do so, so the rookie's participation in practices Wednesday through Friday bears a close eye. Brett Hundley is the next man up…read more

Slated for MRI
Coach Kliff Kingsbury confirmed Monday that Murray will undergo an MRI to gain more information about the hamstring injury he sustained in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Seahawks, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Before departing in the third quarter, Murray had been enjoying a productive day in the Cardinals' eventual upset victory, finishing with 11 completions on 18 attempts for 118 yards and a touchdown while adding 40 yards on six carries. The 5-9-1 Cardinals don't have much at stake in their Week 17 matchup with the Rams, though Kingsbury noted that Murray will start if healthy enough to do so, as Arizona believes the extra reps against a divisional opponent will prove beneficial for the…read more

Week 17 status uncertain
Murray's (hamstring) status for Week 17 against the Rams is uncertain, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Odegard adds that coach Kliff Kingsbury will only play Murray if he's 100 percent healthy. The 5-9-1 Cardinals have no reason not to play it safe with their rookie quarterback, so there's a good chance Brett Hundley will start under center after relieving Murray in Sunday's win over Seattle.

Hurts hamstring Sunday
Murray suffered a hamstring injury during Sunday's game in Seattle, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: In between third-quarter possessions, the Cardinals training staff examined Murray before making a call on his health. If he's unable to return, he'll end the day with 118 yards and one TD on 11-for-18 passing to go with six carries for 40 yards. Veteran Brett Hundley has replaced Murray under center for the Cardinals.

Tosses touchdown in win
Murray completed 19 of 25 passes for 219 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Browns. He also rushed eight times for 56 yards.
Analysis: Murray rebounded well from last week's three-interception outing, getting Arizona out to a 14-0 lead early on. Although he subsequently threw an interception, the rookie responded with a six-yard touchdown pass to cap his next drive. Murray's wheels were also on display Sunday as he ripped off a season-long 35-yard rush during the first half. Overall, it was a solid bounce-back effort, but Murray's final two matchups -- at the Seahawks and at the Rams -- could pose a challenge to close the…read more

Picked three times by Steelers D
Murray completed 20 of 30 pass attempts for 194 yards while throwing two touchdowns and three interceptions during Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Steelers. He also ran for two yards on six carries.
Analysis: Murray was suffocated by a Pittsburgh defense that entered Week 14 ranked No. 3 in the NFL with 43 sacks. The rookie signal-caller absorbed six QB hits and five sacks while Arizona was held under 20 points for a second consecutive game. Not only has Murray now been held under 195 passing yards in three consecutive appearances, he's also seen his rushing production decrease of late. Murray has managed just 30 combined rushing yards over his past two outings after he averaged 44.6 yards per game…read more

Rough day against Rams
Murray completed 19 of 34 passes for 163 yards and an interception while adding 28 rushing yards and a touchdown on four carries in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: The rookie QB couldn't get anything going through the air in large part due to the Rams' pass rush, which was able to sack Murray six times. He did salvage his day from a personal standpoint with his fourth rushing TD of the year, however, Murray will need better protection if he's going to rebound in Week 14 when the Cardinals host the Steelers.

Available Sunday, as expected
Murray (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game versus the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Murray made an appearance on the Cardinals' injury report Friday as a full participant but nonetheless was listed as questionable for Week 13 due to a hamstring issue. The team revealed its hand Saturday when it didn't stop the Lions from plucking QB Kyle Sloter from the practice squad. Still, Murray's availability came down to the release of inactives Sunday afternoon. He'll aim to produce against a Rams defense that has given up 248.6 yards per game and an 18:7 TD:INT to quarterbacks in 11…read more

Set to start Sunday
Murray (hamstring), who is listed as questionable on the official injury report, will start Sunday against the Rams, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Analysis: Murray was able to practice fully Friday despite garnering a questionable tag, so his availability for Week 13 makes sense. Still, fantasy managers will want to check his status before the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Late addition to injury report
Murray was added to Friday's injury report with a hamstring issue, Mike Jurecki of the Cardinals' official site report. He's listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Analysis: Murray's ability to maintain full practice participation Friday suggests the injury isn't too serious, but the timing nonetheless creates some concern. A 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff is suboptimal for fantasy managers, limiting the available alternatives if Murray does end up as a game-time decision. Brett Hundley is the backup quarterback in Arizona.

Produces three TDs in loss
Murray completed 24 of 33 passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns while gaining 67 rushing yards and a TD on eight carries in Sunday's 36-26 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: The San Francisco defense did a fairly good job shutting down Arizona's passing game, but it couldn't contain Murray's scrambling, as the rookie QB picked up his third rushing score of the year while also throwing multiple TDs for the third straight game. The No. 1 pick in the 2019 draft is putting together a strong first season in the NFL, and he'll get a well-earned break during the Cards' bye before the team hosts the Rams in Week 13.

Eclipses 300-yard mark in loss
Murray completed 27 of 44 passes for 324 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in the Cardinals' 30-27 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also rushed three times for 38 yards.
Analysis: Murray put together the fourth 300-yard effort of his nascent career in the close loss, and he had the Cardinals in the game until the very last play, a last-gasp heave in which Arizona tried to argue for pass interference. Murray had his connection with Christian Kirk in top form, as he hit the second-year wideout for touchdown passes of 33, 69 and 15 yards during the contest. The 2019 first overall pick has multiple touchdown passes in back-to-back games after a five-game stretch where he…read more
