He's practiced with the team each week since then, Patrik Nemeth Men Jersey and the Cardinals have until next week to activate him to the 53-man roster.Sources have indicated the Cardinals plan on Murray to play this year, so an Jimmy Howard Jersey activation is nearly a sured. Arizona could still bring him to the 53-man roster and make him inactive next week if the Cardinals deem he's still not 100% ready for game action.The 1-7 Cardinals had planned for Murray to return to the field as early as late October,at the start of the season. His return from a December ACL tear has been on track for months. led the Cardinals in Murray's absence until Arizona dealt him to Minnesota earlier this week just before the trade deadline.

The offense scored more than 20 points just once in the five games since. Murray signed a Alex Delvecchio Men Jersey five-year, $230.5 million contract in 2021, and his return from injury will be a determining factor in the direction of the franchise after this season. Murray is set to count $51.8 million against the cap next year in his age 27 season, and the Cardinals hold two first-round picks in the 2024 draft.
