All you need to know about the availability status of Kyler Murray in tonight’s game between the Arizona Cardinals and the Denver Broncos.
In Week 15 of the NFL season, the Denver Broncos and the Arizona Cardinals are scheduled to play each other. Both of these clubs are in a terrible position relative to where they had hoped to be at this stage in the season.
It is a major disappointment for both the Broncos and the Cardinals that they will not be making the playoffs this season, especially when given how exciting their quarterback situations were throughout the summer.
Even though the Seahawks sent quarterback Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos and the franchise gave quarterback Kyler Murray a massive contract extension, none of them has played very well so far this year for their respective teams. As a direct consequence of this, several concerns have been raised regarding both of the clubs as we go forward into the upcoming season.
Unfortunately, Kyler Murray won’t be a part of this game as he suffered an ACL injury last week against the Patriots. He is out for the rest of the season and is expected to miss a couple of weeks in the next season as well. Colt McCoy will be the starting quarterback for the Cardinals going forward.

Although Kyler Murray is out for the rest of the season we can expect star receiver DeAndre Hopkins to step up his game and help Colt McCoy to ease through the season. Hopkins is capable of putting on a show against one of the best defensive units in the NFL.
The Denver Broncos’ defense will be the key in this matchup and they are more than capable of limiting the Cardinals’ offense without Kyler Murray to very few points. As a result, we expect them to win this game even without Russell Wilson.
