The Arizona Cardinals have announced that Jacoby Brissett will be the starting quarterback this Sunday as they face the Seattle Seahawks. This decision comes as Kyler Murray continues his recovery from a foot injury sustained during Week 5.

Brissett’s Performance:
Brissett has led the team through the last three games with notable success, including a 27-17 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, where he completed 67.7% of his passes for 261 yards and two touchdowns, adding one more on the ground.

With the Cardinals traveling to play against a formidable Seahawks team that boasts a 6-2 record after a recent blowout win over the Washington Commanders, the urgency increases. Murray’s recovery timeline has shifted, with doctors forecasting an extended absence of 4-8 weeks.

Gannon’s Confidence in Murray:
“He’s doing well,” Gannon commented about Murray. “He wants to be out there. He’s a competitor. I talked to him today. He’s a good teammate and he’s working to get healthy.”

However, with Brissett’s effective leadership, there may be questions about the pecking order once Murray is fully fit.
