The Cardinals (7-1) could be without quarterback Kyler Murray on Sunday against the 49ers (3-4).
The MVP candidate is reportedly a game-time decision with an ankle injury. He suffered the injury on the final drive of Arizona’s 24-21 loss to the Packers last Thursday. Murray did not practice all week, a troubling sign.

"He’s progressing, we’ll see how he feels Sunday, and go from there," Kingsbury said on Friday. "I know he wants to play. He understands how important a division game is, and is playing at a really high level.

"We’re not going to put him out there unless he can function. He wants to play. We’ll see."
With Murray’s status uncertain, Arizona is now a 2.5-point underdog on the road against San Francisco at 4:25 p.m. on FOX, per FanDuelSportsbook. They entered the week as a one-point favorite.
Backup journeyman Colt McCoy will get his number called should Murray be held out. It’s a role the 11-year vet of five teams is familiar with. In 30 career starts, McCoy is 8-22 with 6,455 passing yards, 30 touchdowns and 28 interceptions.

"It’s a unique position," McCoy said. "You always have to be ready, right? Whether it is for a few plays, whether it is for the rest of the game, whether it is for a few games down the stretch.
"I’ve started a lot of games in the NFL and been a backup for a lot. Really, I try to keep my approach as similar as possible each week, no matter what. For me, it’s important if I come off the bench to help because something happened to the starter, my teammates can know what they’re getting from me."

"We’ve got a lot of confidence in Colt," tight end Zach Ertz said. "In the NFL, injuries happen. You are going to miss a game here and there, and the next guy has to stand up. Colt’s been working his butt off in case he does have to go."
