INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray will not play Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts after being placed on the inactive list before the game.
Murray has been dealing with an injured foot. He did not practice Wednesday or Thursday and was a limited participant in Friday's lighter workout. Murray had not missed a game since 2023.
With Murray out, longtime veteran Jacoby Brissett will start for the Cardinals (2-3). Brissett started for most of two seasons with the Colts in 2017, when Andrew Luck missed the entire season with a shoulder injury, and in 2019 after Luck's sudden retirement.
Murray was injured in the second half of Arizona's embarrassing 22-21 loss to Tennessee. He missed two plays late in the third quarter while getting treatment, but he returned to finish the game with a noticeable limp at times.
On Wednesday, coach Jonathan Gannon said he would “take it day by day” with Murray and the decision whether to play him as the Cardinals try to snap a three-game losing streak.
Brissett has started 53 of his 89 career games in 10 seasons with the Patriots, Colts, Dolphins, Brown and Commanders.
The Colts on Sunday deactivated quarterback Anthony Richardson, who lost the starting job to Daniel Jones in training camp. A team spokesman said Richardson, the No. 4 draft pick in 2023, suffered an eye injury during pregame warmups. Rookie Riley Leonard will serve as Indy’s backup.
The Colts announced about 30 minutes before kickoff that starting cornerback Charvarius Ward was ruled out of the game after suffering a concussion during pregame warmups. No additional details were immediately available.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. forces in the Caribbean Sea have seized another sanctioned oil tanker that the Trump administration says has ties to Venezuela, part of a broader U.S. effort to take control of the South American country’s oil.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wrote on social media that the U.S. Coast Guard had boarded the Motor Tanker Veronica early Thursday. She said the ship had previously passed through Venezuelan waters and was operating in defiance of President Donald Trump’s "established quarantine of sanctioned vessels in the Caribbean.”
U.S. Southern Command said Marines and sailors launched from the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford to take part in the operation alongside a Coast Guard tactical team, which Noem said conducted the boarding as in previous raids. The military said the ship was seized “without incident.”
Noem posted a brief video that appeared to show part of the ship’s capture. The black-and-white footage showed helicopters hovering over the deck of a merchant vessel while armed troops dropped down on the deck by rope.
The Veronica is the sixth sanctioned tanker seized by U.S. forces as part of the effort by Trump’s administration to control the production, refining and global distribution of Venezuela’s oil products and the fourth since the U.S. ouster of Venezuela President Nicolás Maduro in a surprise nighttime raid almost two weeks ago.
The Veronica last transmitted its location on Jan. 3 as being at anchor off the coast of Aruba, just north of Venezuela’s main oil terminal. According to the data it transmitted at the time, it was partially filled with crude.
The ship is currently listed as flying the flag of Guyana and is considered part of the shadow fleet that moves cargoes of oil in violation of U.S. sanctions.
According to its registration data, the ship also has been known as the Gallileo, owned and managed by a company in Russia. In addition, a tanker with the same registration number previously sailed under the name Pegas and was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department for moving cargoes of illicit Russian oil.
As with prior posts about such raids, Noem and the military framed the seizure as part of an effort to enforce the law. Noem argued that the multiple captures show that “there is no outrunning or escaping American justice.”
However, other officials in Trump's Republican administration have made clear that they see the actions as a way to generate cash as they seek to rebuild Venezuela’s battered oil industry and restore its economy.
Trump met with executives from oil companies last week to discuss his goal of investing $100 billion in Venezuela to repair and upgrade its oil production and distribution. His administration has said it expects to sell at least 30 million to 50 million barrels of sanctioned Venezuelan oil.
This story has been corrected to show the Veronica is the fourth, not the third, tanker seized by U.S. forces since Maduro's capture and the ship also has been known as the Gallileo, not the Galileo.
