Back in Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks, Arizona Cardinals star quarterback Kyler Murray suffered a right shoulder injury and he hasn't been the same since.
As a result of Murray's recent subpar play, the Cardinals have lost three games in a row against the Seahawks, New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams. Murray has five touchdowns and two interceptions during that span while completing 63.5 percent of his passes.
Many believe Murray's shoulder ailment is worse than the former No. 1 overall pick is leading on. However, during his conference call with Cardinals reporters on Wednesday, Murray said his shoulder is “fine.”
“My shoulder is fine,” Murray said, via Bob McManaman of the Arizona Republic. “As far as running the ball goes, it’s pretty obvious if you watch the game if they (opposing defenses) make me hand the ball off, I have no choice but to hand the ball off.
“I don’t know what you want me to do. You want me to pull it and run into a defensive? Like, I don’t know. They’re making me hand the ball so that’s what I have to do.”
The Cardinals are 6-6 on the season. They are currently in eighth place in the NFC standings, trailing the Minnesota Vikings for the third and final Wild Card spot in the conference.
Kyler Murray and the Cardinals must defeat the New York Giants in Week 14 on the road. Even though New York is atop the NFC East division and coming off an upset win over the Seahawks in Seattle in Week 13, Arizona should be favored in that contest.
