The Arizona Cardinals recently opened the practice window for Kyler Murray, meaning he could be returning from his torn ACL very soon, and wide receiver Marquise Brown made some firm comments about what Murray is trying to do in his return to action.
“I think they all know he’s not coming back just to be average,” Marquise Brown said, via Bob McManaman of The Arizona Republic. “He’s coming back to prove a point.”
The Cardinals were accused of playing too hard midway through the season, but they have been competitive in games this season, more so than expected. They upset the Dallas Cowboys in week two and had some close games against others.
While many expect the Cardinals to be in the running for a quarterback during the draft, and that could still happen, they still have plenty of financial commitments to Kyler Murray. With the possibility of him returning to action soon, this could be his chance to play well enough for general manager Monti Ossenfort and head coach Jonathan Gannon to decide to stick with him in 2024.
Monti Ossenfort and Jonathan Gannon are looking to re-tool the team. They have two first-round picks next year due to the trade they made with the Houston Texans at the 2023 draft. The Texans are playing well enough to seemingly be out of the range for a top quarterback as well.
It will be interesting to see how soon, if Murray does return, and if he can prove that he is still the solution for the team.
