The Facts: The Cardinals opened the practice window for Murray this week, the first step toward a return to the football field following ACL surgery. Sources say Murray's return is expected to take multiple weeks, with the most likely outcome that he practices for three weeks then plays on Nov. 12 against the Falcons. There is also a chance he is able to return on Nov. 5 against the Browns if all goes perfectly well on the field and off it.

Diehards Line: Murray tore his ACL on Dec. 12, ending his 2022 season, but he's been active with the new coaching staff, taking part in all meetings. The early returns have been very positive, but given the Cardinals' 1-5 record, and given that Murray now has a GM in Monti Ossenfort and head coach in Jonathan Gannon, who inherited him, there are evaluations to be made. It's fair to say all options are on the table for the 2024 offseason. Plenty of time for all of that to play out. For now, the focus is simply on getting Murray in the right place to play.
