Cardinals QB Kyler Murray ruled out for the rest of the season because of foot injury

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray will miss the remainder of the season because of a foot injury that's kept him out of the lineup since Week 6.

Coach Jonathan Gannon told reporters the decision before Friday's practice.

“Kyler will not play again this year,” Gannon said. “He had some more tests done this week, went out of state, got another opinion on it. It's not progressing where it's going to make sense where he can go.”

It's been a hugely disappointing season for both the Cardinals and Murray, who started the season with high expectations, but now have a 3-9 record and are eliminated from the playoff race.

Murray — a two-time Pro Bowl selection — hurt his foot in a Week 5 loss against the Tennessee Titans. The initial feeling was that the quarterback would only miss a few weeks, but it's now been more than two months since the injury.

Complicating matters, veteran backup Jacoby Brissett has played well in Murray's absence, averaging more than 300 yards through the air. Murray threw for less than 200 yards per game in his five outings.

It remains to be seen if Murray has played his last game for the Cardinals, who drafted him with the No. 1 overall pick in 2019 after he won the Heisman Trophy at Oklahoma. He's had some good moments in seven years with the franchise — leading the team to the playoffs in 2021 — but hasn't been able to consistently win.

The 28-year-old missed big chunks of the 2022 and 2023 seasons after tearing the ACL in his right knee.

Murray is in the middle of a $230.5 million, five-year deal that could run through 2028. Gannon didn't speculate on Friday when asked about Murray's future with the franchise.

“I just feel bad for the quarterback, you know what I mean?” Gannon said. “He got hurt and wasn't healthy enough to play. That's first and foremost. That's where I'd leave it right now.”

The Cardinals host the Rams (9-3) on Sunday.

BODO, Norway (AP) — The Champions League’s Cinderella club Bodø/Glimt wrote another chapter Wednesday in its fairytale run through the competition.

The homely Norwegian club won 3-0 against Sporting Lisbon in the first leg of a round-of-16 clash at its tiny Aspmyra Stadium.

Sporting became the latest favored team to travel far north and struggle inside the Arctic Circle this year.

Manchester City and Inter Milan were each beaten 3-1 on the artificial turf field since Bodø/Glimt began the year looking sure to fall short of reaching the knockout rounds.

It is now a remarkable five straight wins in the Champions League — all during the offseason in Norway. The country's domestic league does not start until this weekend.

Bodø/Glimt led in the 32nd minute when Sondre Brunstad Fet scored with a penalty kick, deceiving Sporting goalkeeper Rui Silva who dived right as the ball went low to his left.

Ole Blomberg added a second in first-half stoppage time, sliding in a low shot after the ball bounced through to him.

Center forward Kasper Høgh added a third in the 71st being strong in the goalmouth to connect with Jens Petter Hauge’s hard-driven low cross. It was Høgh's fifth goal in the five-win streak.

None of the goalscorers has even played for their national team. Fet at age 29 and the 25-year-old Blomberg are yet to be selected for Norway which is soon going to its first World Cup in a generation.

Høgh, also 25, has not been picked for Denmark, which is in a World Cup qualifying playoffs bracket this month.

The team from the Norwegian Sea fishing town would be the most unlikely Champions League quarterfinalist of recent years. APOEL from Cyprus reached the last eight in 2012 and was beaten by Real Madrid.

The winner after the return game in Lisbon next Tuesday will advance to play either Arsenal or Bayer Leverkusen who drew 1-1 Wednesday in the first leg in Germany.

The entire population of Bodø, just 55,000 people, could all fit inside Arsenal’s stadium.
