TEMPE, Ariz. - Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray will not return for the rest of the season after his foot injury has not progressed to the point he could play, coach Jonathan Gannon said Friday.
Murray got another opinion on the injury on Wednesday, sources told ESPN. Gannon said Murray took place happened out-of-state, which caused Murray to be away from the facility on Wednesday. Murray also had more tests done that went into the decision for him not to return.
"It wasn't progressing in a way that we wanted, so we went and got a different opinion, some different people and kind of looked at it and it's just not right," Gannon said.
Murray suffered the injury in a Week 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans and after a handful of weeks of uncertainty about whether or not he could play, Murray was put on injured reserve on Nov. 5. Wednesday was the first time he was eligible to have his three-week practice window opened but Gannon said Monday that would not happen this week.
Initially, when Murray was put on IR a month ago, Gannon said he hopped Murray would return at some point this season but the injury did not allow that to happen.
Gannon said he was "disappointed" that Murray is out for the rest of the season.
"I just feel bad for the quarterback," Gannon said. "He got hurt and he wasn't healthy enough to play. So, I mean that's first and foremost. That's where I would leave it right now."
Murray's future with the team has been a topic this season.
When asked if he thinks Murray will be the Cardinals' quarterback next season, Gannon didn't have an answer.
"I'm worried about the Rams right now," Gannon said.
