Cardinals to start Jacoby Brissett over Kyler Murray in ‘MNF’ quarterback twist

Kyler Murray appeared in line to play Monday for the Cardinals.

But, in the end, it’ll be Jacoby Brissett getting the start.

Murray, who has been battling a foot sprain, could still play a “role” in the game, but it is ultimately going to be Brissett who will be under center for Arizona against the Cowboys, head coach Jonathan Gannon told reporters Saturday.

“Looking at the week of work today, Kyler is not going to be ready to start the game, so Jacoby will start — obviously feel good about Jacoby,” Gannon said.

“I do want to give it the next couple of days to see if Kyler could possibly have a role on gameday.”

Brissett will now get his third straight start for the reeling Cardinals, who have lost five straight games after beginning the year 2-0.

The decision to go with Brissett comes days after Gannon indicated that the team was preparing as if Murray was going to start.

Brissett has thrown for 599 yards and four touchdowns with one interception over the last two games in place of Murray, but the Cardinals have not been able to get back into the win column.

Murray threw for 962 yards (on a 68.3 percent completion rate) with six touchdowns and three interceptions in five games.

He also had 173 yards and one score on the ground.

Arizona is coming off a bye and has had extra rest, and Gannon previously said that was beneficial to his struggling bunch.

“You start playing games and the train’s rolling I think for everybody,” Gannon said Thursday. “They’re rested and it looks a little bit different, so it was very beneficial.”
