Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett to start vs. Cowboys
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett will start Monday’s game against the host Dallas Cowboys, head coach Jonathan Gannon announced Saturday.
Gannon also said quarterback Kyler Murray could “have a role” in the game as he works his way back from a foot injury.
Murray has missed the past two games since injuring the foot during a Week 5 home loss to the Tennessee Titans. He was listed as a limited participant in practice on the injury report on both Thursday and Friday.
The Cardinals (2-5) are coming off a bye and feel urgency to post a victory after losing their last five games by a combined 13 points. Arizona lost both games that Murray missed while Brissett served as the starting quarterback.
Murray, 28, has completed 68.3% of his passes for 962 yards with six touchdowns and three interceptions in five starts this season. The two-time Pro Bowl selection has rushed for a team-high 173 yards and one score.
Brissett, 32, threw two touchdown passes in each of his two starts. He passed for 320 yards and was intercepted once in a 31-27 loss to the host Indianapolis Colts in Week 6 and had 279 yards in a 27-23 home setback to the Green Bay Packers in Week 7.
