Phoenix, AZ — The Arizona Cardinals have decided not to activate quarterback Kyler Murray for their home game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Despite being “fully healthy,” according to Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon, Murray will remain on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list. Reports suggested on Saturday that the former University of Oklahoma standout was set to make his debut after participating fully in Thursday and Friday practice.
However, we will now have to wait at least until Week 9 to see him in action.

Roster Moves and Injuries
The Cardinals also placed starting left guard Elijah Wilkinson on injured reserve due to a neck issue. Wilkinson, who has started six games this season, will be replaced by Joshua Dobbs as the starting quarterback.
Additionally, the team signed wide receiver Andre Baccellia and elevated running back Damien Williams and defensive lineman Ben Stille from the practice squad for game day.
Baccellia could potentially fill in for wide receiver Greg Dortch, who is listed as questionable due to an ankle injury sustained in practice.
