The Arizona Cardinals have been dealing with quarterback issues since starter Kyler Murray suffered a torn ACL last season. Murray has not played a down since then and has just recently been taken off of the injury report. The team has been going with Joshua Dobbs as their starter this season, but that looks like it is about to change as soon as next week.

Arizona Cardinals Quarterback Situation
Arizona will now be rolling with either Kyler Murray or Clayton Tune as their starter next week, demoting Dobbs from the starting position. With Murray still unlikely to participate next week, the team is anticipating Tune to get his first career start next week against the Cleveland Browns.
Dobbs has not been very good for the Cardinals this season, only going for 1,569 passing yards and eight touchdowns. Not the worst stat line in the world, but it looks like Arizona is ready to move on from him. Tune has not yet played a down of regular-season football in the NFL, and it looks like that’s going to change next week.
Kyler Murray
As for Murray, he continues to make strides to make a comeback sooner rather than later. He has not played this season and most likely wants to get in the game to help his team win games, something the Cardinals have only done once this season. He has taken the team to the postseason before, however, that seems like an unlikely task this year.
Arizona is currently 1-7 and it’s not looking like an easier road ahead for them. They will face off against the Cleveland Browns, Atlanta Falcons, and Houston Texans in their next three matchups. If Murray can come back in that time frame or Tune does a decent job, they can win at least one of these games.
