Kyler Murray may not be available for the Cardinals for the full 2023 schedule, but that isn’t stopping the team from naming him one of the captains.
The news comes from Kyle Odegard (via Ari Meirov) who adds: “The Cardinals plan to play Murray once he is fully recovered from his ACL injury. The new front office and coaching staff have fully supported Murray since their hiring.”
