Phoenix, AZ – The Arizona Cardinals entered Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season with a notably clean injury report. However, starting quarterback Kyler Murray’s presence on the report Sunday morning has introduced an element of uncertainty for the team’s upcoming matchup against the New Orleans Saints.
As of Friday, no Cardinals starters were listed as injured. Only guard Will Hernandez was ruled out due to a previously reported injury. Linebacker Owen Papper (quad) and defensive lineman Dante Stills (heel) were listed as questionable. However, Murray was added to the injury report Sunday morning, listed with an illness.
Despite the addition, Murray was not given a game designation, meaning his ability to play has not been impacted. The Cardinals are complying with league protocol regarding injury reporting.
Speculation surrounding Murray’s status has been minimal, with sources indicating the illness is not expected to sideline him for this week. The team is monitoring the situation closely, but currently, there are no indications of a significant impact on his participation.
