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>

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>

However, Gannon <a href="https://x.com/joshweinfuss/status/1977472098814587204" rel="noopener">shut down the conversation</a> before it could begin and declared Murray is still Arizona’s starting quarterback in his post-game presser, according to ESPN’s Josh Weinfuss.</p><p>Brissett tied the Cardinals’ single-game season-high in points in the 31-27 loss. 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>

Brissett is a free-agent quarterback. In 2024, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-news-new-england-officially-names-jacoby-brissett-starting-qb-over-drake-maye">Brissett initially won the starting quarterback job for the New England Patriots</a> as he and first-round draft pick Drake Maye battled in Maye’s rookie year. Brissett also is the NFL’s all-time leader in lowest interception percentage at 1.4%. Here is a look at Jacoby Brissett’s net worth in 2025.</p><h2><b>What is Jacoby Brissett’s net worth in 2025?: $5 million (estimate)</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Jacoby-Brissett.jpg"><figcaption>© Peter Casey-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Brissett has been a capable backup for most of his career. Jacoby Brissett’s net worth in 2025 <a href="https://www.sportskeeda.com/nfl/jacoby-brissett-net-worth-how-much-commanders-qb-worth-2023" rel="noopener">sits at about $5 million</a>, according to SportsKeeda.</p><p>Brissett was born on December 11, 1992, in West Palm Beach, Florida. He played football at William T. Dwyer High School and was a four-star recruit. He was ranked the third-best dual-threat quarterback in his class. Brissett chose to stay in state, attending the University of Florida.</p><h2><b>Jacoby Brissett’s college career</b></h2><p>Brissett was the backup in his freshman season, sitting behind John Brantley on the depth chart. After Brantley suffered an injury in October, Brissett started his first two career games, with one coming against No. 1 LSU. Brissett eventually played in eight games that season, completing 18 of 39 passes for 206 yards, two touchdowns, and four interceptions.</p><p>Brissett started his sophomore season’s first game but lost the job to Jeff Driskel. He attempted 35 passes that season, recording 249 yards and a touchdown.</p><p>Brissett transferred to NC State for his junior season but had to sit out the entire year due to transfer rules. He broke out in 2014, passing for 2,606 yards with 23 touchdowns and five interceptions. Brissett had another successful season in 2015, throwing for 2,662 yards, 20 touchdowns, and six interceptions.</p><h2><b>Jacoby Brissett’s early professional career</b></h2><p>The 2024 season isn’t Brissett’s first time with the Patriots. The Patriots drafted him with the 91st overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft, and he was Jimmy Garoppolo’s backup while Tom Brady served his Deflategate suspension.</p><p>Garoppolo suffered a shoulder injury in Week 2, giving Brissett the rest of the game. He made his first start in Week 3 against the Houston Texans, completing 11 of 19 passes for 103 yards and a 27-yard touchdown run. He was the first African-American quarterback to start for the Patriots.</p><p>Brissett was inactive for the remaining games after Brady’s return but was on the 53-man roster when the Patriots won the famous Super Bowl LI comeback over the Atlanta Falcons.</p><p>The Patriots traded Brissett to the Indianapolis Colts before his second season and took over the starting duties for most of the season. Brissett finished with 3,098 yards, 13 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. He also recorded four rushing touchdowns.</p><p>Brissett became the backup when Andrew Luck returned from a shoulder injury, but it would only last for one season. Luck abruptly retired before the 2019 season, making Brissett the full-time starter.</p><p>He started 15 games, leading the team to a 7-8 record with 2,942 yards, 18 touchdowns, and six interceptions. The Colts didn’t like what they saw from Brissett as a starter, signing Philip Rivers in the 2020 offseason to put Brissett back on the bench.</p><h2><b>A fresh start for Jacoby Brissett</b></h2><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Coming back!  The <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Patriots?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Patriots</a> are welcoming back Jacoby Brissett — a quarterback they drafted back in 2016 — and who was with the team when they beat the Falcons in the Super Bowl.

He appeared in six games for the Dolphins after Tua Tagovailoa suffered a rib injury. He finished the season with 1,283 passing yards, five touchdowns, and four interceptions.</p><p>The Cleveland Browns signed Brissett to another one-year deal in 2022, but he again got thrust into a starting role after Deshaun Watson’s 11-game suspension. Brissett performed well in the 11 games and infamously lost the starting job once Watson returned. Watson couldn’t return to his prior form and still hasn’t.</p><p>Brissett’s third-consecutive one-year deal came in 2023 when the Washington Commanders signed him. He didn’t appear in a game until Week 15 when Sam Howell was sent to the bench.</p><p>Brissett’s best performance came in Week 16 when he led the team back from a 20-point deficit after Howell went to the bench for a second-straight week. Ron Rivera named Brissett the starter for Week 17, but he hurt his hamstring in practice.</p><p>The Patriots signed Brissett before the 2024 season to be Drake Maye’s mentor and possible backup. Brissett started the first five games as the Pats started 1-4 and finally decided to give the starting job to the QB of the future in Maye. The Patriots fired coach Jared Mayo at the end of the season and hired Mike Vrabel to replace him, so it’s unknown if the Pats want to re-sign Brissett.</p><h2><b>Jacoby Brissett’s career earnings</b></h2><p>Brissett’s rookie contract was a four-year, $3.4 million deal, which included a $680,000 signing bonus. The Colts signed him to a two-year, $30 million contract extension before the 2019 season, which would be his most substantial deal.</p><p>The Dolphins signed Brissett to a one-year, $5 million contract before the 2021 season, his first of four-straight one-year deals. The Browns gave him $4.65 million. The Commanders gave him $8 million, and the Patriots gave him $8 million.</p><p>Brissett’s career earnings total $50.9 million. Nevertheless, did Jacoby Brissett’s net worth in 2025 surprise you?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
