Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray is “fully healthy,” coach Jonathan Gannon said Friday. 

But Murray might not make his return from a torn ACL in his right knee during the Cardinals’ game this Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. 

The Cardinals listed Murray as doubtful to play, while Gannon was coy during his press conference when asked about Murray’s availability. 

“We’ll see,” Gannon said when asked if Murray will be active on Sunday. 

“He’s fully healthy,” Gannon said when asked why Murray was no longer listed on the injury report one day earlier.

What else did the Cardinals coach say about Kyler Murray? 

Gannon added Murray has been doing “excellent” from a mental standpoint. 

“The ball jumps off of his hand. He’s explosive getting out of the pocket. He’s accurate. He has good command of the offense right now. And he threads the needle pretty well on some certain throws,” Gannon said of Murray’s performance in practice since his return. 

If/when Murray returns, he’s not expected to wear a knee brace, Gannon said. 

What’s next for Kyler Murray? 

If/when Murray plays, the Cardinals will first have to activate him from the reserve/physically unable to perform list. NFL teams typically make those decisions on Saturdays.

Murray has not played since he tore his ACL against the New England Patriots on Dec. 12. 

The Cardinals are 1-6 with Joshua Dobbs at quarterback, and Murray’s return could change Arizona’s outlook this season. 

With Murray considered doubtful, Dobbs is expected to start against the Ravens.
