The Los Angeles Rams may not be the only ones starting a backup quarterback in the season finale against the Arizona Cardinals next week. Their opponent could be, too.
Kliff Kingsbury said on Monday that he’s unsure whether Kyler Murray will be able to play in Week 17 against the Rams due to a lower leg injury. The severity is not yet known and Kingsbury didn’t give any further details, but this is certainly a situation to monitor as the game approaches.
Cardinals’ HC Kliff Kingsbury said Kyler Murray has a “lower leg injury” and his status for Sunday’s game vs. Rams is uncertain.

Kingsbury is often vague with his injury updates, not revealing much about a player’s status. So there’s a chance he’s just being cautious by not making too much of Murray’s injury. But if Murray can’t play, it’ll likely be Chris Streveler taking over at quarterback against the Rams.
Jared Goff’s status, of course, is also uncertain after the quarterback broke his right thumb during the third quarter of Sunday’s game. He didn’t miss a snap, but if he can’t grip the football and throw it properly, the Rams may turn to John Wolford.
