Kyler Murray will not participate in the Arizona Cardinals’ upcoming game, impacting their strategy as they aim to break a losing streak. The quarterback sustained a foot injury, which sidelined him for two days of practice. Despite a brief return for a limited session on Friday, he was deemed questionable for the game.
