  • Gets another weapon

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

    Analysis: Despite having few reliable WR options beyond Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk and an uneven ground game until the midseason addition of Kenyan Drake in 2019, Murray completed 64 percent of his passes en route to 3,722 yards (15th in the NFL), 20 touchdowns (21st) and 12 interceptions (tied for 11th) as a rookie. Murray also ripped off 544 yards at 5.8 YPC -- both good for second among QBs behind last year's MVP Lamar Jackson -- and added four more scores on the ground. It's safe to consider…read more

  • Wins Offensive Rookie honors

    Murray was voted AP Offensive Rookie of the Year on Saturday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Murray lived up to his billing as the first overall pick in the 2019 draft and has a bright future ahead of him after taking home this award. He's a premier asset in dynasty formats and will be on the radar in redraft leagues as well as he continues to mature as the Cardinals' starting quarterback.

  • 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. The skill positions for the Cardinals may experience a change in 2020, as veteran wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald and midseason acquisition Kenyan Drake are unrestricted free agents.…read more

  • Able to return

    Murray (arm) was able to return to Sunday's season finale against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Murray couldn't guide his team to a comeback after returning in the fourth quarter, but he raised his passing total for the game to 324 yards, giving the rookie first overall pick 3,721 passing yards for the season.

  • Hurts arm in finale

    Murray (arm) exited in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Rams and was replaced by Brett Hundley, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Murray completed 22 of 37 passes for 288 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions prior to exiting the game. Assuming he's done for the game, Murray will finish his rookie season with 3,685 passing yards and a 20:12 TD:INT. According to Weinfuss, doctors were checking out Murray's lower right arm after he exited the game.

  • Suiting up Week 17

    Murray (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday against the Rams at L.A., Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Murray completed 17 of 24 passes for 241 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Cardinals' 28-25 loss to the 49ers on Thursday. He also rushed five times for 34 yards and threw a two-point conversion pass.

    Analysis: Murray unsurprisingly struggled against the suffocating 49ers defense for the majority of the contest, but one fourth-quarter play turned both the dynamic of the game and his individual stat line around. Murray hit fellow rookie Andy Isabella for an 88-yard touchdown with 4:53 remaining and also connected with Kenyan Drake on the ensuing two-point conversion attempt, bringing the Cardinals to within three points.

    Murray completed 19 of 33 passes for 220 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Cardinals' 31-9 loss to the Saints on Sunday. He also rushed twice for 13 yards and fumbled once but recovered.

    Analysis: Murray was able to stay away from any mistakes, as he managed to recover his own fumble. However, he also failed to get the Cardinals into the end zone, despite showing renewed chemistry with the returning Christian Kirk (ankle). Murray also took multiple sacks for the second straight game, and he's now failed to throw at least one touchdown in four of the last five contests overall.

    Murray completed 14 of 21 passes for 104 yards and added 28 yards on 10 carries during Sunday' 27-21 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Fans who had gotten used to Murray's robust yardage totals during his first six career games, during which he topped 300 total yards four times, probably felt a shock to the system on Sunday, but Murray didn't need to do much Sunday with his defense swarming and running game doing the trick. The rookie delivered a clutch 11-yard run in the third quarter to set up Arizona's third touchdown, but overall it was a quiet outing in the New Jersey muck.

    Murray completed 27 of 37 passes for 340 yards and three touchdowns while rushing 11 times for 32 yards in Sunday's 34-33 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: He's now the first quarterback in NFL history to begin his career with 20 or more completions in six straight games. This was Murray's best performance yet through the air, and the dual-threat QB has topped 300 passing yards in three games so far while tossing multiple TDs in three as well. He could be productive again in Week 7 against a Giants defense allowing 9.3 YPA, one of the worst marks in the league.

    Murray completed 20 of 32 passes for 253 yards without a touchdown or interception and added 10 carries for 93 yards and a TD in Sunday's 26-23 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: The rookie quarterback had his best rushing day yet, scoring on the ground for the second straight game even as Murray also failed to throw a TD pass for the third time in five games. He did spread the ball around well -- eight different Cardinals caught passes in the game -- and could have had a more productive day through the air had players like Christian Kirk (ankle) been in the lineup.

    Murray completed 22 of 32 pass attempts for 241 yards and threw one interception during Sunday's 27-10 loss to Seattle. The rookie quarterback also logged four carries for 27 yards and a rushing touchdown.

    Analysis: The No. 1 overall pick was an all-time prolific collegiate rusher from the quarterback position as an Oklahoma Sooner, but through the first two weeks of his NFL career, he had only carried the ball six times for a total of 17 yards. Someone must have reminded Murray that he can scoot, as he's amassed 96 rushing yards on 12 attempts over the past two games, while logging his first career rushing touchdown against the division-rival Seahawks in Week 4.

    Murray completed 30 of 43 passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions, while gaining 69 rushing yards on eight carries, in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Panthers.

    Analysis: Some of the scrambles were by design, but Murray also spent a good portion of the game running for his life from the Carolina pass russ: He was sacked eight times, and the lack of time he had to let routes develop accounted for his miserable 4.0 YPA. Murray is showing the tools to be a top fantasy QB, but until the Arizona offensive line can give him better protection, his production is likely to remain erratic.

  • Throws for 349 yards

    Murray completed 25 of 40 passes for 349 yards and a two-point conversion during Sunday's 23-17 loss to Baltimore. He added four yards on three carries and recovered his own fumble.

    Analysis: Murray became the only rookie to open his career with back-to-back 300-yard performances since Cam Newton in 2011. The rookie was dealing Sunday, including on a 54-yard deep shot to Larry Fitzgerald and a two-point conversion to KeeSean Johnson in which the rookie faded back and still had enough arm to fit the ball in the back of the end zone. That's probably not how they teach it in Arizona, but Murray has unique arm talent. Moving forward to a tough Week 3 matchup against Carolina, it will be…read more

  • Perseveres after rough start

    Murray completed 29 of 54 pass attempts for 308 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's 27-27 tie with the Lions.

    Analysis: Murray started in putrid fashion and led the offense to just 53 yards in the first half. He caught fire in the fourth quarter, however, setting a rookie record for fourth-quarter passing as he brought his team back to salvage a tie. Somewhat surprisingly, Murray wasn't involved much as a runner and finished with just 13 yards on three carries despite playing a hefty allotment of snaps, though the game flow could've been a large factor in that regard. It was a positive sign that he was able to…read more

  • Showcases upside

    Murray completed 14 of 21 passes for 137 yards in the team's third preseason game against Minnesota on Saturday. He also added four rushing attempts for nine yards.

    Analysis: Murray showcased a connection with Damiere Byrd and KeeSean Johnson throughout his performance, completing several long passes to each. While he was still inaccurate at points throughout the contest, Murray threw effectively on the move and completed passes to nine different receivers. He's yet to showcase his significant rushing ability, but looked much more comfortable than he did in his shaky effort in the team's second preseason game.

  • Uneven in second start

    Murray completed three of eight passes for 12 yards and added a four-yard run during Thursday's 33-26 loss to Oakland

    Analysis: Murray was humming in the preseason opener against the Chargers, but the Raiders knocked him off his mark Thursday. He sailed a handful of passes and was made uncomfortable by Oakland's rush on multiple occasions, including a nine-yard sack that resulted in a safety. The preseason is bound to get tougher on rookies as it progresses, with teams keeping starters in for longer periods and getting a little less vanilla with play calls. Murray got popped Thursday, and it'll be interesting to see how…read more

  • Will see more work Thursday

    Coach Kliff Kingsbury indicated that Murray will play more than one drive in Thursday's preseason game against the Raiders, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com report.

    Analysis: How much deeper into the contest Murray will go has yet to be decided, but it looks like he'll at least see more than the 11 snaps he played in last week's preseason opener against the Chargers. Given that context, there's not a ton of DFS appeal for Murray in the Cardinals' second exhibition.

  • Solid in first game action

    Murray completed six of seven attempts for 44 yards in the Cardinals' 17-13 preseason win over the Chargers on Thursday.

    Analysis: Murray played 10 snaps on the team's first offensive drive, running the offense out of shotgun exclusively. Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports the rookie ran a variety of formations, including four wides on three different occasions and a three-wide set on another five plays. The near-perfect debut is encouraging, especially considering the relative complexity of the offense Murray is adapting to this summer. He'll likely see multiple series in the Cardinals' second preseason contest against the…read more

  • Looks ready for starting job

    Murray impressed his Cardinals teammates during the offseason program, ESPN.com's Josh Weinfuss reports.

    Analysis: Starting right guard Justin Pugh said Murray lives up to the hype, and left guard J.R. Sweezy -- formerly of the Seahawks -- said he sees "hundreds of similarities" between the rookie and Russell Wilson. Running back David Johnson also jumped on the hype train, noting that Murray is faster, quicker and more accurate than he'd expected. With no competition for the starting job, the No. 1 overall pick will dominate first-team reps throughout training camp and preseason as he gears up for a Week 1…read more
