Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has given an honest take on the effect of the ACL injury he suffered last year and how it may help him ahead of the 2023 NFL regular season
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has opened up on his injury woes and why he’s focusing on the positives ahead of the new season.
The Cardinals QB’s 2022 season came to an early end after he suffered an ACL injury on December 12 in a 27-13 loss to the New England Patriots. Since then, the 25-year-old has been building up his recovery ahead of the new season.
Murray, the number one pick from the 2019 NFL Draft, completed 14 touchdown passes in the 11 games he played before getting injured. He signed a five-year contract worth $230.5 million in July 2022, following his impressive first three seasons in Arizona.
The quarterback’s fourth year in the NFL was heavily disrupted due to injury, but now there is renewed optimism of a bright future. The Cardinals hired new head coach Jonathan Gannon and new general manager Monti Ossenfort in the early weeks of 2023, right at the start of Murray’s recovery.
