"Uphill battle" for Murray to play Week 9

Kyler Murray Headshot

It'll be an "uphill battle" for Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (ankle) to play against the 49ers today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Murray "will try to go, but there isn’t a ton of optimism for it," Rapoport adds. ESPN's Adam Schefter's report is only a little more optimistic. Murray "is expected to test his injury in pre-game warmups before Arizona makes a final decision on his status," Schefter tweeted. "Cardinals want to be careful." At this point, we're not expecting Murray to play vs. San Francisco. We won't find out for sure until 3 pm ET, but Murray should be on fantasy benches unless you have a viable late-game alternative. QB Colt McCoy will start for Arizona if Murray is out.
