Cardinals do not activate Kyler Murray from PUP

Murray will not play on Sunday as the Cardinals face the Baltimore Ravens at home.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was officially listed on the team’s final injury report of Week 8 as doubtful. So it was no surprise that, when the team announced roster moves for Sunday’s matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, Murray was not activated from the PUP (physically unable to perform) reserve.

He is not eligible to play on Sunday.

On PUP since before the season because he has been recovering from a torn ACL suffered last December, he was designated to return the week leading up to the team’s game last week against the Seattle Seahawks.

That opened a three-week window for him to be activated and placed on the 53-man roster.

Per Ian Rapoport, the plan was to use almost all if not all the window for Murray to get ready, giving him a potential return in Week 9 on the road against the Cleveland Browns on Week 10 at home against the Atlanta Falcons.

But as for the game against the Ravens, it will once again be Josh Dobbs starting at quarterback.

Expert picks and predictions for Cardinals-Ravens in Week 8

Check out what experts are predicting in the Cardinals’ Week 8 game against the Ravens. You guessed it – everyone is picking the Ravens.

The Arizona Cardinals enter Week 8 in a matchup against the Baltimore Ravens in which they are huge underdogs. The line has moved to 9.5 points.

Between the Cardinals’ recent play, losing four games in a row, their dreadful second-half performances (outscored 104-30 this season) and injuries, it seems like the Ravens are just too much to handle, especially if quarterback Lamar Jackson does what he did last week in a 38-6 win over the Detroit Lions.

Baltimore is No. 2 it total defense, No. 1 in points allowed and No. 1 in sacks.

That doesn’t bode well for the Cardinals.

Cardinals injury report: Kyler Murray doubtful, Kevin Strong out

Kyler Murray doesn’t appear to be quite set to play this week and come off PUP.

The Arizona Cardinals released their final injury report of Week, two days ahead of their home game against the Baltimore Ravens. They will be down another starting defensive lineman and could be without safety Jalen Thompson.

But the new everyone wants to know is about quarterback Kyler Murray. It is unlikely he is activated from the PUP reserve.

The details of the final injury report are below.

Kyler Murray doubtful to be activated, play vs. Ravens

The Cardinals list Murray officially as doubtful to play in Week 8 on the final injury report.

It would appear that the return of Kyler Murray will have to wait at least another week. The Arizona Cardinals released their final injury report of the week and Murray is officially listed as doubtful for the game.

Murray, currently on the PUP (physically unable to perform) reserve, would have had to be activated and active on Sunday if the Cardinals had not added a game designation.

The Cardinals designated him to return from PUP on Wednesday before their game last week against the Seattle Seahawks, opening a 21-day window for him to be activated.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Kyler would make his return in November after the Cardinals used up all or almost all of his 21-day practice window. That would be either next weekend on the road against the Cleveland Browns or at home in Week 10 against the Atlanta Falcons.

He began this week on the injury report as a full participant in practice. On Thursday, though, he was taken off the injury report. He did not have a practice designation on Friday but still is listed as doubtful.

We should not expect him to be activated on Saturday.
