Kyler Murray once again lands on the wrong side of events. This time the Arizona Cardinals Quarterback was taken off the field against the New England Patriots on Monday Night Football as he suffered a brutal and scary non-contact injury in the very first quarter.
Even the video suggest how Kyler Murray fell on the ground while running with the ball, sparking fears about his condition. His fall looked so bad in the first instance that even the Cardinals’ trainers came running onto the field to assess his condition. Eventually, he was taken away with the initial hopes of making a comeback in the latter stages.
However, after a brief looks even the Arizona Cardinals were made aware of the situation. They quickly announced about his knee injury, ruling him out for the rest of the game.
The 25-year-old signal-caller has been awful this campaign with a measly 66.3 percent pass completion rate, Kyler Murray remains one of the team’s best weapons. That being said, this was a big blow for the Cardinals who are looking to break their two-game skid against the New England Patriots.
Being 4-8, this could be a huge loss, perhaps a season defying one for the concerned team. Moreover, Murray has thrown for 2359 yards and 14 TouchDowns. He has also rushed for 415 yards and three TouchDowns with the Cardinals. So, for him to be out of the campaign could be a huge loss for the Arizona Cardinals.
