Have we been too quick to label the Packers as Super Bowl contenders?
USA TODAY Sports’ Joe Rivera and Chris Bumbaca discuss whether the NFL world jumped the gun on calling the Packers Super Bowl contenders.
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray went to the locker room with a foot injury in the third quarter of his team’s Week 5 game against the Tennessee Titans.
The Cardinals announced Murray was “questionable” to return to the game because of the injury.
However, the veteran’s absence turned out to be short-lived. Murray missed just two total plays before returning to the field.
The 28-year-old showed few ill effects from the injury. He was able to move around the pocket while looking for a receiver downfield before throwing a ball into the dirt in the direction of running back Emari Demercado.
It wasn’t immediately clear when Murray suffered the injury. He was tended to by Cardinals medical staff on the sideline after losing a fumble on an aborted snap and walked to the locker room under his own power.
Murray was wearing a beanie, not a helmet, as he went to be further examined in the locker room.
Backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett was called upon to lead the Cardinals for two plays before Murray came trotting out of the locker room and back onto the field.
Brissett failed to complete his lone pass in relief of Arizona’s starting quarterback.
