My biggest takeaway: Volume. He was getting a lot of throws in today. pic.twitter.com/B6Xuj4OQHK— Josh Weinfuss (@joshweinfuss) October 18, 2023

Barring any setbacks I would think he could be good-to-go in two weeks. pic.twitter.com/hvxNbIxNfU
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray is scheduled to return to practice this week after spending the first six weeks of the season on the Physically Unable to Perform list. He’s recovering from an ACL injury that he sustained last season.
The Cardinals have 21 days to add him back onto the active roster once he begins practicing again. Arizona has gone 1-5 in his absence to start the season with Josh Dobbs starting under center for the first six weeks.
The #Cardinals are opening the 21-day practice window for QB Kyler Murray and S Budda Baker, coach Jonathan Gannon announced.

Fantasy football implications for Week 7
When Murray returns, Dobbs will be benched, and Murray will be available to add from the waiver wire as a potential fantasy option. He is rostered in less than 15% of ESPN fantasy leagues. While it’s unclear how he will look when he returns after the ACL injury, some wide receivers on the Cardinals roster may see an uptick in fantasy earnings with their starting QB back on the field.
