Colt McCoy Injury History & Analysis

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray will open the regular season on the physically unable to perform list as he continues working back from the ACL tear that ended his 2022 campaign. The designation means he'll miss at least the first four games. We'll see beyond that.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray is opening training camp on the PUP list, as expected. Murray is working his way back from an ACL tear in Week 14 of last season. He's widely expected to miss some regular-season time as part of that return. How much? We'll see.

Cardinals HC Kliff Kingsbury conceded Wednesday that QB Kyler Murray (knee) "probably" won't be ready for the start of the 2023 season. Murray underwent surgery Tuesday to reconstruct his ACL and repair meniscus damage in his right knee. We're just about 8 months from the start of the 2023 campaign; this is an injury that usually takes 9+ months to return from. Early fantasy drafters should be operating under the assumption that Murray misses at least the first few games. The PUP list, which would cost him the first 6 games, is a real possibility. Kingsbury also said that QB Colt McCoy isn't playing this weekend to protect him from injury, suggesting that he might be Plan A to replace Murray early next season. McCoy is signed for 2023 with a reasonable $5 million cap hit.
