Residing in the basement of the NFC West after five consecutive one-score losses, including three straight by game-winning field goal, the Cardinals did some soul-searching. While their 2-5 record has not resulted in any trades, the team <a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1982921223517680032" rel="noopener">decided to part ways</a> with an offensive starter before a Week 9 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night. </p><p>The Cardinals have released running back Michael Carter, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Carter’s 2025 campaign has been a roller coaster. He was part of the team’s initial roster cutdown before Week 1. Carter then won the Pat Tillman Award, given to the Cardinals’ scout team player of the week, before being named Arizona’s starting running back <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/cardinals-news-james-conner-season-ending-foot-surgery-scary-injury">after injuries to James Conner and Trey Benson</a>. </p><p>Carter acknowledged the quick ascension up the Cardinals’ depth chart before a Week 5 matchup vs. the Tennessee Titans, stating, “You pray for a moment to showcase your talent and here it is,” via Arizona Sports reporter Tyler Drake.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">“It’s been a lot. … You go from Pat Tillman (Scout Player of the Week) one week to starting the next.”</p><p>Cardinals RB Michael Carter on the roller coaster this year has been and what this week’s opportunity means to him ⬇️ <a href="https://t.co/EvQx0K8Snu">pic.twitter.com/EvQx0K8Snu</a></p><p>— Tyler Drake (@Tdrake4sports) <a href="https://twitter.com/Tdrake4sports/status/1973487638280798267?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 1, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Unfortunately for Carter, the ride was short-lived. In three games, The now ex-Cardinal struggled to gain any momentum, totaling 96 rushing yards in 34 attempts, nine receptions, 77 receiving yards, and one touchdown. He also saw his carries dwindle each game.</p><p>He began with a career-high 18 attempts against the Titans but saw his number called less than 10 times in the two subsequent games. His 2.8 yards per attempt are tied for 50th in the NFL, and his lack of production forced the team to move on.</p><p>The Cardinals, now down to their fourth-string running back, are expected to feature a combination of Zonovan Knight and Emari Demercado in the wake of Carter’s release. The team is also hopeful that Benson will return in the near future, as he is recovering from surgery on his knee. He is eligible to return in Week 10, following a required four-week stint on injured reserve.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The 25-year-old <a href="https://x.com/mcbtrey/status/1982090571641663926" rel="noopener">expressed his dissatisfaction</a> with not being given the opportunity to replicate that performance in 2025 on X, formerly Twitter.</p><p>“Having a bye on National Tight End Day shouldn’t be allowed…,” McBride tweeted.</p><p>Despite failing to reach the end zone, McBride was the league’s top performer on 2024 National Tight End Day. The novelty of the holiday typically results in heightened performances from players at the position.</p><p>While the Cardinals have struggled to generate results, McBride has sustained his success early in the 2025 season. The fourth-year pro has a team-leading 421 receiving yards at the break, the second-most among tight ends in the NFL through seven weeks.</p><p>However, despite his recent success, McBride might have had a more difficult time putting up numbers on 2025 National Tight End Day.

However, Arizona has not lost by more than four points thus far.</p><p>Aside from Murray, the bye week also provides valuable recovery time for rookies Walter Nolen III, Max Melton and Will Johnson. Arizona has several players on injured reserve eligible to return, though none appear close to doing so.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Arizona started the season 2-0 with wins over the New Orleans Saints and the Carolina Panthers but has since lost five straight games in the fourth quarter. They lost the first three on last-second field goals, and then the most recent two were losses thanks to last-second touchdowns, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/its-time-for-big-changes-in-arizona-after-cardinals-embarrassing-collapse-against-titans" rel="noopener">leading many questions for the coaching staff</a>.</p><p>The Arizona Cardinals have collapsed in the fourth quarter, <a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1980285911045984378" rel="noopener">losing all five of their games by a combined total of 13 points</a>. According to the NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, this year’s Arizona Cardinals are the first team to do that since the 2017 San Francisco 49ers.

Against the Cardinals, they didn’t have the lead until two minutes left to play.</p><p>“Disappointing there. Felt like we came out ready to go, did some good things in all three phases, but ultimately not enough,” Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon told reporters after the loss.</p><p>“So, we’ve got to do more to get a win here. It’s hard, but I just told them we’re hitting a bye here on a skid, and we dug ourselves a hole. There’s no doubt about it. We’re going to have to dig ourselves out of it, and it’s going to be us that does it. So, we got to get reset. Rest up, mentally, physically, and emotionally. We’ve got to reset ourselves, and then we’ll come back to work.”</p><p>Arizona already made history previously when they lost to the San Francisco 49ers, the Seattle Seahawks, and the Tennessee Titans in three straight weeks on a last-second field goal.

So I’m pretty decent in the run game,” Parsons said when a reporter asked <a href="https://atozsports.com/nfl/green-bay-packers-news/micah-parsons-delivers-a-clear-jab-at-jerry-jones/" rel="noopener">about his role blocking</a> and setting the edge, via Wendell Ferreira of atozsports. A dry rejoinder that carried extra weight given Parsons’ recent public back-and-forths involving Jones and his former team. The remark landed like a mic drop in a locker room already buzzing over his first three-sack game as a Packer.  </p><p>Parsons dominated Sunday, logging three sacks and consistently collapsing pockets late as Green Bay rallied from a deficit. The performance often felt like the turning point; Parsons’ pressure helped force Arizona into mistakes and limited the effectiveness of Jacoby Brissett and the Cardinals’ offense. ESPN’s box score shows Parsons’ three sacks as a game-high.  </p><p>Green Bay’s comeback hinged on a late offensive push. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-josh-jacobs-is-doing-everything-he-possibly-can-play-vs-cardinals">Josh Jacobs ran for two touchdowns</a>, including a go-ahead 1-yard score with 1:50 left, and Jordan Love finished 19 of 29 for 179 yards and a touchdown to spark the rally.

Without him, they’ll likely tilt toward a quicker passing approach and more designed runs for smaller backs and receivers in space. LaFleur’s play-calling will have to adjust on the fly, and that’s easier said than done against an Arizona team that still fights hard in the trenches.  </p><p>The Packers elevated depth pieces on Saturday, a move that signals preparation for either outcome.  </p><p>Whatever happens Sunday, the decision will affect more than the carry totals. Jacobs’ presence changes defensive looks, third-down strategies, and clock management. If he’s cleared, Green Bay keeps the identity it’s built this year.

Now, they’ll look to turn their season around on Sunday against the visiting Green Bay Packers. With starting quarterback Kyler Murray still nursing a foot sprain, NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported via X, formerly Twitter, that backup Jacoby Brissett <a href="https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1979609538182758600" rel="noopener">will likely start against</a> the Packers on Sunday.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">The <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/AZCardinals?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#AZCardinals</a> are once again planning to start QB Jacoby Brissett, while QB Kyler Murray (mid-foot sprain) heals, per The Insiders. </p><p>Murray is questionable, but spent time in practice open to the media throwing to practice squad receivers while Brissett was with the starters. <a href="https://t.co/KkuarHhzd4">pic.twitter.com/KkuarHhzd4</a></p><p>— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) <a href="https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1979609538182758600?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 18, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>“The #AZCardinals are once again planning to start QB Jacoby Brissett, while QB Kyler Murray (mid-foot sprain) heals, per The Insiders,” reported Rapoport. “Murray is questionable, but spent time in practice open to the media throwing to practice squad receivers while Brissett was with the starters.”</p><p>The fact that Murray is close to returning is a good sign. If anything happens to Brissett on Sunday, then Murray could relieve him if the Cardinals deem him ready. However, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/cardinals-news-jacoby-brissett-expected-to-start-over-kyler-murray-in-week-6-vs-colts">plan for Brissett to start</a> his second consecutive game seems to be in place. Despite losing their fourth straight last Sunday to the Colts, it was a narrow 31-27 defeat. Can Brissett lead Arizona to its first win since Week 2?</p><h2><b>Cardinals look to reverse four-game skid Sunday versus the Packers</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Cardinals-QB-Kyler-Murray_d457e3.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: © Joe Rondone/The Republic / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/cardinals-news-kyler-murray-qb1-strong-jacoby-brissett-showing">Brissett had a solid start</a> in relief of Murray in last Sunday’s loss to the Colts. The veteran quarterback went 27-of-44 for 320 yards, to go along with two touchdown passes and an interception. That’s a higher total than Murray has notched in any matchup this season, win or lose. If Brissett continues to play well, would it be smarter for the Cardinals to go with him under center full-time?</p><p>It’s an intriguing possibility, as it seems that head coach Jonathan Gannon has had his troubles this season. For a Cardinals franchise that has consistently teased the potential of being a postseason contender, time could be running out for Murray and Gannon. However, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/cardinals-should-stick-with-jacoby-brissett-even-when-kyler-murray-gets-healthy">if Brissett can lead Arizona</a> to their third win against the Packers, wouldn’t it be fair to see what he could do with the full-time gig in place of Murray? For a fanbase that has been starved of postseason success, the Cardinals’ brass needs to try its best to deliver on those dreams.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As a new Sunday arrives, we’ll be going over some bold predictions when the <b>Green Bay Packers (3-1-1) </b>visit the <b>Arizona Cardinals (2-4) </b>on Sunday, October 19 at 4:25 p.m. ET.</p><p>The Green Bay Packers come into this game following a 27-18 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals coming out of their Week 5 BYE. Joe Flacco aimed to lead another comeback attempt against the Packers for the second time this season, but the Green Bay defense held strong through the fourth quarter to get the win. RB Josh Jacobs was the catalyst for their success with two touchdowns on the ground, moving into second-place for the league’s most touchdowns.</p><p>The Arizona Cardinals come in following a tough 31-27 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Despite the L on their record, quarterback Jacoby Brissett managed to keep the Cardinals competitive without Kyler Murray out there and covering the +5.5-point spread set for them. This week, they’ll be the underdogs once again looking to break their four-game losing streak. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/kyler-murray-marvin-harrison-jr-limited-before-cardinals-week-7-clash">Kyler Murray remains ‘questionable’ ahead of this one</a>, so we could see Brissett start another game in relief.</p><p><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/nfl">Sportsbooks are billing</a> the Green Bay Packers as 6.5-point betting favorites on the road. The implied total for the game has been set at 44.5 points.</p><h2>Packers vs. Cardinals Bold Predictions – Week 7</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Green-Bay-Packers-running-back-Josh-Jacobs-8-stiff-arms-Cincinnati-Bengals-cornerback-Cam-Taylor-Britt-29.jpg"><figcaption>© Tork Mason / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p><b>Packers’ Josh Jacobs leads the NFL in rushing yards after Week 7</b></p><p>Through the first six weeks of the season, Josh Jacobs is currently second among players with six rushing touchdowns on the season, trailing only Colts’ Jonathan Taylor (7) for the league lead. What is even more impressive is that Jacobs has been able to do so with one fewer game played given the Packers’ Week 5 BYE.</p><p>Against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Packers leaned heavily on their lead back with 18 carries, two touchdowns, and a great receiving game with five catches for 57 yards. Right now, he’s their most reliable option from inside the 20-yard line and he’s been able to convert on more attempts than not. With the Colts facing a staunch Chargers’ defense, don’t be surprised if Josh Jacobs can take the lead or tie for most rushing touchdowns.</p><p><b>Cardinals’ Bam Knight earns RB1 role</b></p><p>The Arizona Cardinals’ backfield has been devastated all season. First came the season-ending injury to feature back James Connor. As backup Trey Benson finally began settling into his new role, he landed on injured reserve with a knee injury. Then, of course, came the fumble on the goal line from suspected RB1 Emari Demercado, effectively killing any changes at the starting role.</p><p>Bam Knight saw his most active game of the season in Week 6 with 11 carries for 34 yards and a touchdown. He also caught a pass for 20 yards and was clearly the more explosive playmaker opposite backfield mate Michael Carter, who logged nine carries and two catches last game. I expect Bam Knight to be much more active in the offense during this game, ultimately marking his role as the starting back while Trey Benson is out.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Arizona-Cardinals-running-back-Bam-Knight-20-returns-a-kickoff-against-the-Tennessee-Titans.jpg"><figcaption>© Matt Kartozian-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p><b>The Packers’ defense will create more than one turnover</b></p><p>While this Green Bay Packers defensive unit has been great in keeping teams out of the end zone this season, they’re notably ranked second-worst in the NFL in takeaways with just two this season. Safety Xavier McKinney had more individual interceptions than most teams up to this point last season, so this is certainly uncharted territory for the Packers’ as of late.</p><p>For a defense that’s been the talk of the NFL with their addition of edge rusher Micah Parsons, the Packers’ defense is bound for their breakthrough performance. If veteran Jacoby Brissett sees the start, expect the Packers’ corners to be ballhawking all throughout this one.</p><p><b>The Arizona Cardinals will lead at halftime</b></p><p>While the betting odds are significantly skewed towards the Packers in this game, they’ve had a history of starting slow over the last two seasons. Furthermore, quarterback Jordan Love made an early mistake with an interception against the Bengals, so the Arizona Cardinals could become competitive early-on if they’re able to force a turnover or two out of the Packers.</p><p>The Packers have also allowed teams like the Browns and Bengals to hang around late in the game, so unless we see a completely dominant effort from Green Bay in all three phases of the game, expect the Cardinals to hang around and threaten with a tight margin.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They started the season at 2-0, but have lost four straight and are dealing with injuries on offense. Kyler Murray is dealing with an ankle sprain, while <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/cardinals-news-marvin-harrison-jr-concussion-protocol-big-hit-colts" rel="noopener">Marvin Harrison Jr. is dealing with a concussion</a>. It seems like both will be game-time decisions before this Sunday.</p><p>Arizona Cardinals team reporter Darren Urban reported that both were seen working at Friday’s practice but were still limited. Marvin Harrison Jr. <a href="https://x.com/Cardschatter/status/1979245542967513351">was seen no longer wearing the no-contact jersey</a>, which should spark some hope for Cardinals fans, but <a href="https://x.com/Cardschatter/status/1979219305591115907" rel="noopener">he is still in concussion protocol</a>. Kyler Murray w<a href="https://x.com/Cardschatter/status/1979245542967513351">as seen working with the scout team</a>, while Jacoby Brissett worked with the first team offense.</p><p>Marvin Harrison Jr.’s injury status is still in the air because he participated only limitedly in Wednesday and Thursday’s practice, but was a full go on Friday. He will most likely enter Sunday with a questionable status. The NFL has a five-step clearance plan for players to be eligible to come back from concussion protocol, and it seems like Harrison is in step five and on the cusp of being cleared, but time will tell.</p><p>Head coach Jonathan Gannon said when asked about Harrison, “Good, working through the protocol. “</p><p>“Whatever the protocol says, that’s what he’ll do.”</p><p>While good news appears on the horizon for Marvin Harrison Jr., there is much uncertainty about Kyler Murray’s status. Murray was seen going through practice, but not with the first-team offense; that job belonged to Jacoby Brissett. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/cardinals-should-stick-with-jacoby-brissett-even-when-kyler-murray-gets-healthy" rel="noopener">He played well in Murray’s relief last week</a>.</p><p>Murray participated in practice only on Wednesday and Thursday. He was limited again on Friday so that Murray will enter Sunday’s game with questionable status.</p><p>Jonathan Gannon addressed the media on Friday, discussed the roster injuries, and said that the next 48 hours will be key for players like Murray.</p><p>“Injury front, Emari [Demercado] is not going to make it, and we will not activate Walt [Nolen]. Everybody else, we’ll see how it goes in the next 48 hours,” Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon told reporters Friday morning.</p><p>“Good. Good. He’s doing well,” he added on Murray.</p><p>The Cardinals are desperate to get healthy, and if they have those two players available, they have a much better chance of getting the upset over the Packers than if they were out.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

That goes without saying. But in-season management is just as important. Players get injured, and fantasy rosters get wrecked with bye weeks. There is no shortage of reasons why the more active fantasy managers tend to do better consistently.</p><p>NFL Week 7 is nearly upon us. This week, the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens are on bye. That means Derrick Henry and James Cook are unavailable, leaving fantasy rosters with a gaping hole at running back.</p><p>Additionally, we have already seen stud running backs go down with injury. That opened up opportunities for active managers to snag a handcuff that was left on waivers.</p><p>Take Rico Dowdle, for example. He was rostered in just under 10 percent of leagues when Carolina Panthers tailback Chuba Hubbard <a href="https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/10/17/panthers-injury-updates-chuba-hubbard-week-7-friday/86747994007/" rel="noopener">went down with a calf strain</a>. Active fantasy managers scooped up <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/rico-dowdles-2-week-panthers-explosion-is-more-than-just-a-flash-in-the-pan">Dowdle and have been rewarded handsomely</a>. He has rushed for almost 400 yards in two games for the Panthers.</p><p>Even though there are no obvious players to target this week, that doesn’t mean there aren’t players with streaming appeal. So, let’s get into our NFL Week 7 fantasy football running backs worth streaming.</p><h2><b>Chargers RB Kimani Vidal</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Chargers-RB-Kimani-Vidal.jpg"><figcaption>© Rich Storry-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Two weeks ago, Los Angeles Chargers running back <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/los-angeles-chargers/chargers-news-omarion-hampton-land-injured-reserve-ankle-injury">Omarion Hampton was placed on injured reserve</a>. Reports out of Los Angeles had Hassan Haskins expected to take over lead duties.</p><p>So much for that.</p><p>Kimani Vidal dominated touches in the Chargers’ backfield. He rushed 18 times for 124 yards and caught three passes for 14 yards and a touchdown. Meanwhile, Haskins barely got on the field.</p><p>Vidal was likely scooped up in waivers, if not last week, definitely this week. On paper, Los Angeles faces a tough matchup for running backs. The Indianapolis Colts allow the seventh-fewest fantasy points to the position this season. That may create some trepidation from fantasy managers to plug him into their lineups.</p><p>But offensive tackle Joe Alt is back at practice. Jim Harbaugh still wants to run the football, and Vidal is clearly the guy. Plug and play Vidal without any concern.</p><h2><b>Texans’ Nick Chubb</b></h2><p>Fantasy managers who drafted Joe Mixon must be annoyed. The team has been so secretive about their starting running back. It left fantasy managers reluctantly drafting Nick Chubb in the middle-to-late rounds.</p><p>Chubb struggled to get much going the first few weeks, prompting talk of Woody Marks taking over the job. Even Texans’ head coach DeMeco Ryans talks up their rookie tailback. Marks was supposed to get as many touches as he could handle in Week 6.</p><p>Then the game happened.</p><p>Chubb once again played as the starter and, for the second time in five games, found the end zone. The matchup this week is far from ideal.</p><p>The Seattle Seahawks have been among the best rush defenses in the league. But this is a play more on touchdown equity than anything. For those in a pinch, you could do worse than streaming Chubb.</p><h2><b>Cowboys rookie RB Jaydon Blue</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Cowboys-RB-Jaydon-Blue.jpg"><figcaption>© Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>This one is a bit of a dart throw, but there is reason to back it up.</p><p>Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Jaydon Blue lit it up during training camp and the preseason. That led to him being drafted in the later rounds in fantasy football drafts nationwide. But no one could have foreseen Javonte Williams doing what he has done thus far.</p><p>Williams is providing legit RB2 numbers consistently and is a must-start.</p><p>But Blue has some sneaky streaming appeal this week, especially with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/cowboys-news-miles-sanders-miss-rest-season-knee-ankle-injury">Miles Sanders now on IR</a>. The Cowboys face the Washington Commanders in what should be a shootout. Vegas has the over/under for this game listed at 54.5, and at some sportsbooks, even higher. There is going to be a lot of scoring in this game.</p><p>The Commanders’ rush defense is fresh off getting gashed by D’Andre Swift and the Chicago Bears. If you are in a tough spot at running back, Blue offers fantasy managers a legit path to double digits.</p><h2><b>Cardinals Running Backs</b></h2><p>Our final entry is not a single player, but a pair of teammates.</p><p>Fantasy football is a game of opportunity. You always want to position yourself where the players in your lineup are getting as many touches as possible.</p><p>The Arizona Cardinals’ running back room has been decimated by injury, creating opportunity. First, James Conner suffered a season-ending injury. Not long after, talented backup Trey Benson got hurt and is on injured reserve.</p><p>Both Michael Carter and Bam Knight offer some streaming appeal. They will very likely split touches this week. But each should touch the ball 10+ times in their game against the Green Bay Packers. It may not be ideal, but both provide opportunity.</p><p>In PPR leagues, Carter has slightly higher upside with his pass game usage.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Demercado was just a few steps from the endzone when he dropped the ball in the fourth quarter.

However, Wednesday’s update could signal that his NFL debut might be coming sooner rather than later.</p><p>Still, the Nolen news is about the only thing that Cardinals fans have to be optimistic about at the current point in time. The good vibes from the 0-2 start are now firmly in the rearview mirror, and with Murray’s health a perpetual question mark, it’s difficult to envision any path back into contention for Arizona this year.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

That by itself is impressive considering that Indy is one of the hottest teams in the league right now. But there is no such thing as a moral victory in the NFL. A loss is a loss.</p><p>But credit where it is due for the Cardinals. Jonathan Gannon’s team responded well after last week’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/cardinals-news-paris-johnson-gannon-demercado-situation">controversial situation between Gannon and Emari Demercado</a>.</p><p>It is clear that Gannon has not yet lost the locker room. But he could still be in danger if he makes enough wrong moves.</p><p>Arizona’s quarterback situation could become the situation that ends up costing Gannon his job after all.</p><p>Gannon made it quite clear during his postgame remarks that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/cardinals-news-kyler-murray-qb1-strong-jacoby-brissett-showing">Kyler Murray is still the starting quarterback for the Cardinals</a>. Reporters checked in on the situation after Brissett played an excellent game and had Arizona looking better than ever.</p><p>Murray could not suit in Week 6 because of a foot injury, and it is unclear when he will return to the starting lineup. So whether Gannon likes it or not, Cardinals fans may get another look at Brissett in Week 7.</p><p>Personally, I don’t understand why the Cardinals do not give Brissett a legitimate chance to win the starting job over Murray.</p><h2><b>Why the Cardinals should stick with Jacoby Brissett over Kyler Murray</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Kyler-Murray-Jacoby-Brissett.jpg"><figcaption>Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Brissett had an excellent day passing the football on Sunday.</p><p>The veteran quarterback went 27-of-44 for 320 yards with two touchdowns and one interception.</p><p>Brissett looked comfortable orchestrating Arizona’s offense despite multiple factors not breaking his way.</p><p>For example, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/cardinals-news-marvin-harrison-jr-concussion-protocol-big-hit-colts">Marvin Harrison Jr. left this game with a concussion</a>.</p><p>The fact that Brissett was able to find success in Gannon’s offensive system without their best weapon on the field is quite impressive.</p><p>Meanwhile, the Cardinals struggled to run the ball against the Colts with both James Conner and Trey Benson out of the lineup. Michael Carter logged nine carries for 34 yards, and Zonovan Knight had 11 carries for 34 yards and a touchdown.</p><p>To be fair, Kyler has not played poorly during the 2025 season. He has 962 passing yards with six touchdowns and three interceptions in five games played.</p><p>Kyler has led the Cardinals about as well as Brissett did in Week 6. Arizona has been competitive in every game played this season, but has come out on the losing side more than their fair share.</p><p>There’s also the financials of it all.</p><p>Murray signed a massive contract extension with the Cardinals in 2022 worth $230.5 million. The speedy quarterback is <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/cardinals-news-kyler-murray-contract-key-update-bounce-back-season">due $32.835 million fully guaranteed in 2026</a>.</p><p>As a result, it is extremely unlikely that the Cardinals can move on from Murray, even if they wanted to.</p><p>Ultimately, I understand that the Cardinals have made their bed with Murray as their franchise quarterback. There’s likely nothing that could force Arizona off its current plans.</p><p>But the problem, at least for Gannon, is his fate now seems to be tied to Kyler’s.</p><p>I still believe that Arizona will clean house at quarterback and head coach at some point soon. The only thing that can prevent that from happening is simply winning football games.</p><p>The pressure will be on Kyler and the Cardinals like never before after Brissett’s strong performance in Week 6.</p><p>Hopefully that pressure translates into wins.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Cardinals should stick with Jacoby Brissett even when Kyler Murray gets healthy

Due to the nature of the sport, injuries here aren’t necessarily a matter of if, but when. Week 6 of the 2025 NFL season saw a few notable players suffer injuries. Let’s take a look at the<a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/notable-injuries-news-from-sunday-week-6-games" rel="noopener"> big name players who unfortunately suffered an injury</a> in Week 6.</p><h2><b>Rams WR Puka Nacua – Ankle</b></h2><p>Puka Nacua has ascended this season, emerging as the clear-cut top wide receiver in the NFL. His route-running and ability to absorb hits make the Los Angeles Rams wide receiver one of the toughest pass-catchers to cover. Against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6, though, Nacua had a bit of a scare.</p><p>After an awkward fall, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/los-angeles-rams/rams-news-puka-nacua-limps-locker-room-injury-ravens-game">Nacua was helped off the field with an apparent lower leg injury.</a> The Rams star was listed as questionable after the injury, but he was able to return to the game and finished the contest. Sean McVay later revealed that the Nacua suffered an ankle injury, and that his status for their London game next week is not certain yet.</p><h2><b>49ers LB Fred Warner – Ankle</b></h2><p>The San Francisco 49ers also saw a star of their suffer an ankle injury. Unfortunately, his ankle injury is much, much worse than Nacua’s. Star linebacker Fred Warner was carted off the field after he was undercut by his own teammate in the fourth quarter. It was eventually revealed that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/49ers-news-fred-warner-undergo-surgery-ruled-out-rest-season">Warner would miss the rest of the season</a>, as he suffered a fractured and dislocated ankle.</p><p>Warner is just the latest 49ers star to miss significant time this season with an injury. Earlier this year, star pass rusher Fred Warner was ruled out for the season after suffering a torn ACL.</p><h2><b>Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka – Hamstring</b></h2><p>The Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ success this season is due in large part to the immediate connection between Baker Mayfield and rookie Emeka Egbuka. Pegged as one of the more NFL-ready wide receiver in this year’s draft, Egbuka has been the best wide receiver of the 2025 rookie draft class so far.</p><p>So imagine how Buccaneers fans felt when Egbuka was suddenly ruled out for their game against the 49ers. Egbuka suffered a hamstring injury, and his status remains uncertain for the following weeks. It’s a brutal blow for a Buccaneers team that’s already dealing with the absence of veteran wide-outs Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.</p><h2><b>Cardinals RB Emari Demercado – Ankle</b></h2><p>While Emari Demercado isn’t as notable as the first three names, he’s listed on here due to the ramifications of his injury. The Arizona Cardinals already have two of their running backs out for a significant time. Starting RB James Conner has been ruled out for the rest of the season, while his backup, Trey Benson, is on IR for an injury.</p><p>After a costly fumble in Week 5, Demercado suffered an ankle injury in Week 6 against the Indianapolis Colts. It’s an unfortunate situation for the Cardinals as they try to navigate this difficult roster situation.</p><h2><b>Jets WR Garrett Wilson – undetermined</b></h2><p>The Jets remained winless after Week 6, losing an ugly contest against the Denver Broncos in London. Not only will New York come back to America with a 0-6 record, but one of their only bright spots is in danger of missing the game.</p><p>Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson momentarily stepped out of the game in the second half with an apparent injury. The star did eventually return to the game, but head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed that Wilson is indeed nursing an injury.</p><p>Other notable players that were ruled out of the game include Titans WR Calvin Ridley (hamstring), Steelers CB Darius Slay (shoulder), Colts QB Anthony Richardson (eye), Cowboys QB Cooper Rush, and Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion).</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He did his damage despite <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/cardinals-news-marvin-harrison-jr-concussion-protocol-big-hit-colts">losing leading receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.</a> early in the game due to a concussion.</p><p>Brissett dropped back and uncorked 44 passes, which is more attempts than Murray has had in any game this season. He completed just 61 percent of his throws, but the Cardinals relied on their passing attack in a game they managed just 88 rushing yards.</p><h2><b>Cardinals drop fourth consecutive game to Colts</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Cardinals-QB-Jacoby-Brissett_1ae34a.jpg"><figcaption>Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>It might not be their quarterback, but the Cardinals clearly need something to change. Arizona has fallen to 2-4 after winning its first two games and is now firmly in last place in the NFC West.</p><p>The Cardinals have certainly fallen on hard times, as Murray’s injury followed a season-ending foot injury to star running back James Conner. Regardless, Arizona has faltered more than the acceptable amount and appears to be a team currently lacking an identity.</p><p>With Murray being ruled out shortly before the Week 6 matchup, he appears likely to be back in the lineup for Week 7. The Cardinals return home for a tough game against the Green Bay Packers before their Week 8 bye.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Kyler Murray cemented as Cardinals QB1 despite strong Jacoby Brissett showing
