Kyler Murray expected to start vs. Eagles despite missing 2 practices

Murray returns to practice Friday after missing two days with an illness.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, having gotten sick after the holidays. However, per head coach Jonathan Gannon on Friday, Murray should be good to go to start on Sunday on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Gannon told reporters Murray would practice on Friday.

He was present for practice on Thursday although he did not participate. On Wednesday, he was not even in the building.

This will be Murray’s seventh start of the season since coming back from his knee injury. He has completed 62.3% of his passes for 1,305 yards, six touchdowns and four interceptions. He has also rushed for 187 yards and three touchdowns.

The Cardinals and Eagles kick off from Lincoln Financial Stadium Sunday at 11 a.m. Arizona time.
