The Arizona Cardinals officially opened the practice window for quarterback Kyler Murray on Wednesday, beginning the countdown to when he is activated from PUP and returns to the starting lineup as the team’s starting quarterback.
However, do not expect him to start this weekend against the Seattle Seahawks.
Head coach Jonathan Gannon said that Josh Dobbs, who has started the first six games of the season, will still be in the lineup.
“He’s going to go out and play real well versus Seattle,” Gannon said about Dobbs. “I know that.”
Murray, coming back from a torn ACL he suffered last December, just had his first practice on Wednesday in the offense. He will need at least a couple of weeks of reps to be ready.
He won’t start this week. Maybe he will in Week 8 against the Baltimore Ravens, but Dobbs is the guy at least one more week.
