Kyler Murray will miss the upcoming game against the Colts due to a persistent foot injury. This situation allows Jacoby Brissett to take the starting position against his former team. Kedon Slovis is set to be Brissett’s backup for this match.
Details on Kyler Murray’s Injury
Murray sustained the injury during the previous week’s game against the Titans. He briefly left the field but returned to participate in 15 additional snaps. Despite this, his performance was hampered by the injury.
This week, Murray was unable to practice for two days before making a limited appearance on Friday. Initially listed as questionable, reports from NFL Network indicate that he has a version of a Lisfranc injury, potentially sidelining him for multiple games.
Murray’s Career Context
Sunday marks the first game he will miss since returning from an ACL injury earlier in 2023. Over his seven-year NFL career, Murray has missed 19 games out of 87 played.
