The Cardinals may be without starting quarterback Kyler Murray for some time.
On the second play from scrimmage in the Week 14 “Monday Night Football” matchup between the Cardinals and Patriots, Murray scrambled to his right, and seemed to injure something in his lower half. Murray wouldn’t be able to make it to his feet.
The cart was immediately brought out for Murray, who was surrounded by teammates as he made his way off the field.

Kyler Murray injury update
Murray was carted off in the first quarter of the Week 14 Cardinals-Patriots matchup after suffering a non-contact injury. He would later be listed as out the remainder of the game.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the fear is that Murray suffered a “serious knee injury,” but more tests should confirm whatever that is.
As it appeared almost immediately, the fear is that #AZCardinals QB Kyler Murray suffered a serious knee injury, source said. An MRI and other tests are coming.

Head coach Kliff Kingsbury said during the game he was unsure of the severity of the injury, just that he wouldn’t return on Monday night.
The Cardinals would initially list Murray as “questionable” with a knee injury, as he was also undergoing further testing. That later led to Murray being listed as out.
Cardinals now have ruled out QB Kyler Murray due to the knee injury that he suffered on the third play of the game.
