After Monday night’s win over the Cowboys, Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said Kyler Murray remained his starter; on Tuesday he announced Jacoby Brissett will start Sunday in Seattle, citing Murray’s lingering foot injury. Gannon called the early declaration clarity for game-planning, though the timing invites questions about league pressure for transparency amid recent gambling and injury-report issues. The choice highlights a delicate balance: Murray is paid like the starter, but Brissett is playing better. With major 2026 guarantees looming, Arizona may keep Murray sidelined and healthy while riding Brissett.
