Cardinals' starting quarterback decision revealed

The Cardinals’ starting quarterback job is Jacoby Brissett’s, at least for now.

Arizona head coach Jonathan Gannon revealed on Tuesday who will be his QB1 this week against the Seahawks, one day after taking down the Cowboys on “Monday Night Football.”

“Jacoby will start,” Gannon said. “And Kyler [Murray] will keep working on his health bucket. I do like what the offense is doing right now, we’ve operated well and we’ll go from there.”

Shortly after Gannon’s comments, ESPN’s Adam Schefter revealed that Murray and the team has talked to multiple doctors about his foot injury, which has sidelined him for the past month, “and have been told the timetables for recovery have been anywhere from 4-8 weeks, with an increased chance of setback until it’s properly healed.”

Gannon didn’t appear too concerned about Brissett taking over the starting job for the time being, though.

“I do like where we’re operating, how we’re operating as an offense,” Gannon said. “So that has, in my mind, I take all the variables that I have to make a decision and make the decision when I need to. And I think we’re doing a pretty good job on offense. I like what the offense is doing right now.”

It’s unclear who would be the starter if Murray was fully healthy.

When asked whether he would turn back to Murray once his foot heals, Gannon had a one-word answer.

“Seattle,” he said, referring to next week’s opponent while declining to answer the question.

Amid all the quarterback drama, Brissett played well on Monday night in Dallas, throwing for 261 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions.

In three starts, Brissett has gone 1-2, which includes one-score losses to the Packers and Colts, with six touchdown passes and one interception.
