Kyler Murray Won't see preseason action

Coach Jonathan Gannon said Tuesday that Murray won't suit up for any of Arizona's preseason contests, including Saturday's exhibition opener against the Saints, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Murray won't be risked for Arizona during any of the Cardinals preseason matchups, which sets the stage for Desmond Ridder and Clayton Tune to see plenty of reps. Now more than a year and a half removed from the torn right ACL that delayed his 2023 debut until Week 10, there's reason to be optimistic that Murray's rushing production is ready to bounce back to usual levels, and that the addition of rookie phenom Marvin Harrison could lead to a step forward in the passing game as well. Arizona also added veteran Zay Jones in Arizona, while TE Trey McBride and second-year wideout Michael Wilson return to an upgraded receiver corps. It won't be until the Cardinals' regular-season opener on the road against Buffalo, though, that we'll get to see Murray and his new supporting cast in action.
